Description

Grilled chicken in sweet pineapple-soy glaze served in mini tortillas with tropical pineapple-mango-avocado salsa.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 120 ml pineapple juice
  • 100 g brown sugar
  • 90 ml ketchup
  • 90 ml soy sauce
  • 45 ml chicken broth
  • 1.25 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
  • 0.75 teaspoon garlic minced
  • 900 g boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 24 mini corn tortillas
  • 160 g pineapple diced
  • 165 g fresh mango diced
  • 150 g avocado diced
  • 15 g cilantro chopped
  • 15 ml fresh lime juice
  • pinch sea salt

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chicken broth, minced ginger and garlic. Whisk thoroughly to blend.
  2. Reserve 240 ml of the marinade in a separate bowl. Add chicken breasts to the main bowl ensuring all pieces are evenly coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl combine diced pineapple, mango, avocado and chopped cilantro. Drizzle with lime juice, season with sea salt, toss gently, cover and set aside.
  4. Preheat a grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush with oil or use cooking spray. Remove chicken from marinade and discard the used marinade. Grill chicken covered for 6 to 8 minutes per side, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade until internal temperature reaches 74°C. Transfer to a board and dice into small pieces.
  5. Distribute diced grilled chicken and prepared salsa evenly among the mini corn tortillas. Serve immediately.
