Ingredients
  

For the Marinade

  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons ketchup
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 teaspoon garlic

For the Chicken and Toppings

  • 2 pounds chicken boneless thighs or breasts

  • 1 cup diced avocado
  • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, brown sugar, ketchup, soy sauce, chicken broth, ginger, and garlic. Reserve 1 cup of marinade for later use. Add chicken, coat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Combine diced pineapple, mango, avocado, chopped cilantro, and lime juice in another bowl. Toss gently and sprinkle with sea salt. Set aside.
  • Preheat your grill pan over medium heat and lightly brush with oil. Grill the chicken for about 6-8 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Allow the chicken to rest before dicing into small pieces. Divide the chicken among tortillas and top with the fresh salsa.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate chicken for at least 30 minutes and opt for fresh ingredients in the salsa.
