Reviews
I didn’t have jerk seasoning so I used a packet of fajita mix. It turned out really well and I liked it.
Excellent fajitas! Purchased jerk seasoning Badia brand from Walmart. Excellent tasting with a hint cinnamon. Cooked the peppers separate in EVOO. Pineapples really give the dish an extra kick.
The pineapple and peppers complimented each other well. One of the few dishes where I’ve seen my daughter go back for seconds.
This is a wonderful recipe! I used the recipe on this site for the jerk seasoning. wonderful twist on fajitas!
Made this with two changes. One, EVOO instead of vegetable oil and had some Key West Grilling spice mix instead of Jerk Spice. Have some left for a nice chicken fajita salad tomorrow!
Lots of flavor – the sauteed pineapple is delicious. I used boneless thighs and seasoned them & browned them before I cut them into strips. Then I threw them back in the pan to finish cooking along with the peppers & sliced onions. I served w/shredded pepper jack cheese & slices of lime. Will definitely make again.
Great recipe. I added onions as i always use them in fajitas. I used green peppers. Great recipe and we all loved it, even the three year old!
This recipe is very good as written and definitely deserves a try! The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because I think the following changes improve the recipe a bit: I add sliced onion to the chicken and red peppers, and since I usually make this when I have leftover pineapple, I’ve always used fresh instead of canned. It’s very yummy, but not very saucy, so we use sour cream with it on our fajitas. I absolutely love this meal!
I ended up forgetting the cilantro and lime, and I used a bag of pre-made fajita mix instead of the bell peppers, but it was no less delicious. I would DEFINITELY make it again!
Made exactly as written. Didn’t think everyone would go for the pineapple, but the whole family liked it. Easy to make and fairly quick.
Good recipe! I added cheese, fresh jalapeño, and pineapple salsa to the toppings. I should’ve cooked the chicken and bell pepper separately (or cut the chicken into smaller pieces).
I also used the recipe for Jerk seasoning on this site. It was a good blend of heat and sweet. I thought these tasted best on corn tortillas though. I also put on a bit of sour cream and Monterey Jack cheese. Very Good!
I am not a whiz at sauteeing but this was an easy dish and very tasty! I used pre-cut peppers and chunk pineapple. I made my own Jamaican Jerk seasoning from another cook on All Recipes. I didn’t use tortillas but made rice and spooned this over. We really enjoyed this first foray into Jamaican cuisine. Thanks for a great recipe!!
I make this for my husband when he have a meeting with he friends. they eat and loved it. they say they never eat meat with pineapple/fruit in it before. lol. them call me Chef cause they know how I can cook when I make food from the island. I count 5 times when one friend keep telling me the food is good, so I give him more and he finish in few minutes. they say I live in the kitchen cause every time they come over our place I always in the kitchen making something. I want try different food from different countries now to increase my talent and I want to make my husband fat. lol
Husband ate it right up and so easy to cook!
This recipe is delicious, I only added sautéed mushrooms when I cooked it!!
It was pretty good! I personally didn’t care for the Cilantro but my mom loved it! It had some kick to it but not overwhelming 😛
I made this tonight and WILL be making it again. I agree with other reviews in that I will double the pineapple next time. Besides the pineapple, I made everything in my pampered chef deep covered baker. I didn’t have lime nor cilantro but it was great. My husband made whole kernel corn with butter and cayenne pepper as a side dish.
A nice variation to traditional fajitas. I used red, yellow and orange bell peppers and sweet onions along with the pineapple. Delicious!
Great recipe I make it about once a month. It never lasts long. The only thing I changed was I added sliced onions to go with the red peppers delicious!
This was so much better than I expected – and I thought it would be pretty good! The sweetness of the grilled pineapple, the hot spiced chicken and the cool tang of fresh lime juice combine into an addictive mixture I will definitely make again soon (and often)!
