Aloha Chicken Fajitas

I found this recipe HERE for Hawaiian Chicken Fajitas on Pinterest.  I was instantly excited to try this new recipe.  When I went to the store I realized that I was unable to find the enchilada seasoning packet that the recipe calls for so I instantly had to start revamping how I was going to make this recipe.  I made several changes and it was AWESOME.  Everyone in my family liked it...even the picky one.  He said, and I quote, "This is the best stuff ever mom!".  Good enough for me!

So click above for the original recipe and scroll down for my version:


3 Chicken breasts cut into strips
2 tbl oil (enough to coat skillet)
1 large red bell pepper cut into strips
1 onion also cut into strips
4 tbl taco seasoning (you know the packet!)
4 tbl honey
1 can pineapple chunks drained (reserve juice)

Ok let me first say that I marinated my raw chicken in a garlic and herb marinade for about an hour just to give it extra flavor, this step is optional you can just cook it in the oil like it is, or season to your liking, oooo or even grill it YUM.  So cook chicken in oil until done.  Add onions and bell pepper and cook until onions and pepper are tender (about another 4-5 minutes).  Mix together taco seasoning, honey and 1/2-1 cup of pineapple juice.  Once chicken and veggies are done pour sauce mixture over chicken and stir to coat.  Cook another couple minutes to warm and kind of caramelize sauce.

Serve fajita chicken over tortillas.  We topped ours with the pineapple chunks, cheese, tomato, and sour cream!

If you wanted to make this super fast and easy (it already is so easy!!!) you could use a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, or precooked chicken breasts.
