Pineapple Pomegranate Chicken Tacos (Chasady Woods/The Cullman Tribune)

This summer needs flavor and it’s time to add a citrus twist to savory food!  

You will need the following items: 

  • Flour tortillas 
  • Lemon 
  • Canned pineapple  
  • Pomegranate seeds  
  • Mango habanero salsa  
  • Lettuce  
  • Jalapeños  
  • Purple onion  
  • Chicken breast 
  • Lemon pepper   
  • Taco seasoning  
  • Coconut soy sauce  
  • Butter 
  • Coconut oil 

First you will want to slice your lemon and onion. For the onion, only cut as much as you will need for your tacos and put the rest away. The entire lemon will be used. Slice half the lemon. The slices will be cooked and the other half will be squeezed.  

Put your onion slices into a large frying pan with a few jalapeños. Place these items to one side and your pineapples on the other. Let them cook individually for five minutes or so before adding in juices and sauces. I chose to add coconut soy sauce and jalapeños juice onto the pineapples. Then I added pineapple juice to my onions. Let them sit for another five minutes, then mix. After they’re equally cooked, turn the heat off and move your toppings to another container.  

Leaving the pan as-is, you will turn on low heat and add two tablespoons of coconut oil. Once the oil has melted, place your lemon slices and squeeze the juice of the lemon half into the pan.  

For this recipe I highly recommend chicken. Once the chicken is flipped a few times I add a tablespoon of butter to each slice along with lemon pepper and taco seasoning. I move the lemons to a separate area of the pan with a few drops of coconut soy. Once the chicken is cooked fully and cooled down it is ready to be cut into chunks or shredded.   

Now you are ready to enjoy your meal! Grab your tortilla and add your lettuce, chicken, mango habanero salsa, onion, pineapple and top it all with your pomegranate seeds and lemon slices!
