The Easy Diabetes Diet Plan Cookbook - Grilled Cajun Chicken and Pineapple Relish Taco

Grilled Cajun Chicken and Pineapple Relish Taco

Ingredients:

Chicken breast

Cajun seasoning

Pineapple

Cilantro

Whole wheat tortilla

Choice of salad greens

White wine vinegar

Extra virgin olive oil   

Preparation: 

Here is a recipe with a clear Mexican influence, perfect for those who like their food with a little kick.

Prepare the pineapple relish ahead of time. Cut the pineapple into approximately half-centimetre pieces. Chop the cilantro finely (you can substitute with parsley if you’re not fond of cilantro). In a small bowl,

combine the pineapple, the cilantro and a mixture of white wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil; enough to coat the ingredients thoroughly. You can also season with a little cumin if desired.

To cook the Cajun chicken, preheat your grill, making sure that it is clean. Butterfly the chicken breast or cut until thin. Lightly season the chicken with Cajun seasoning. Spray the grill with spray-on cooking oil and grill the chicken until cooked.

After grilling the chicken, place the whole wheat tortilla on the grill until it is hot or until it has grill marks and remove from the grill.

Slice the chicken into thin strips.

Combine the chicken, the relish, and your choice of salad greens on the whole wheat tortilla and fold for a Cajun and pineapple soft taco.
