Taco Braised Chicken & Pineapple

Being able to add a bunch of ingredients to a pot and throw it in the oven is such a relief on a busy week day! And a good spice blend is what's going to turn those ingredients into something really delicious!

This recipe was developed by Dave's mom - a really great dish that combines convenience and flavour in a one-pot dinner. We used random pieces of chicken from the freezer; to use them up mainly and to free up some freezer space :)

Taco Enhancer added the perfect combination of spices to compliment the sweet, complex flavours of this dish. Served with rice to round off this winner of a dinner.

Try this with our Ghost Pepper Taco Enhancer to really bring some heat to this one! The balance of the sweet and savoury is sure to please everyone.
