Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup pineapple chunks
• 1 cup red cabbage
• 1 large (shredded) carrots
• 0.25 cup cilantro leaves
• 8 pieces flour tortillas (6-inch)
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 3 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag, pour in the marinade, and seal the bag. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 3

While the chicken marinates, prepare the slaw by combining shredded red cabbage, shredded carrots, and chopped cilantro in a mixing bowl. Toss with a squeeze of lime juice and set aside.

Step 4

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and grill for 5-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F). Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 5

In the same pan, grill the pineapple chunks for about 1-2 minutes per side, until they are slightly caramelized.

Step 6

Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable.

Step 7

Assemble the tacos by layering the sliced chicken, grilled pineapple, and slaw onto each tortilla.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the tropical flavors of these Hawaiian soft tacos!
