Spicy Pineapple Chicken Tacos from the Gallo Family recipe book Pairs with Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato

A home cook’s take on tacos “al pastor,” the sweet and spicy chicken is full of fresh new flavors. Helpful tip: Prepare the chicken ahead of time and reheat in a sauté pan as you assemble the tacos later on.

Prep Time: 40 minutes | Cook Time: 50 minutes Yield: 10 – 14 small tacos

Ingredients: ❑ 2 pounds bone-in chicken thighs ❑ 1 teaspoon cumin ❑ 1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano ❑ 1 teaspoon salt ❑ 2 teaspoons pepper ❑ 1 teaspoon chili powder ❑ Canola oil ❑ 1 medium onion, sliced ❑ 2 cloves garlic, crushed

Starting A New Spring Tradition

❑ 1 jalapeño ❑ ½ tablespoon tomato paste ❑ 1-2 cups chicken stock ❑ 1 small (8 oz) can crushed pineapple ❑ 1 bay leaf ❑ 2 cups fresh (or canned) diced pineapple ❑ 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro ❑ ½ red onion, small diced ❑ 1 lime, juiced ❑ 15-20 corn or flour tortillas

“I love the springtime. We all come out of winter, and suddenly want to reconnect with friends and family.

There’s just something in the air that renews us,” says Stephanie Gallo, a third generation Gallo family member. “As a family we all love to cook, so nowhere can you see this more than in our springtime recipes.”

Try giving chicken tacos a fresh start by adding chili powder and pineapples. The pairing of sweet and spicy is a wonderful companion for the savory chicken. And finish the meal with a glass of crisp, delicious wine.

The Gallo Family Vineyards Moscato with its delicious honey and ripe citrus flavors tames the spicy heat and plays up on the fruit flavors. Your guests will love the fresh approach to the meal.

Directions: Mix together cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and chili powder. Season chicken thighs with spice mix, including under skin. Heat a few tablespoons of canola oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown chicken on both sides, turning once, until golden brown, remove chicken from pan. Add onion, garlic, and ½ jalapeno to same pan and briefly cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes, add tomato paste and stir to cook about 2 minutes more. Add chicken stock, crushed pineapple, and bay leaf, stir to combine and add chicken back to pan, adding more chicken stock if necessary to cover almost, but not quite, the chicken.

Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until chicken is cooked all the way through, about 40 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Remove chicken from cooking liquid and shred chicken, discarding bones and skin. Hold shredding chicken in a few cups of the cooking liquid to keep moist. While chicken is cooking, prepare pineapple salsa by mixing together diced pineapple, cilantro, red onion, and lime juice. Finely dice remaining ½ jalapeno and add pineapple salsa according to desired spice level.
