Ingredients
Chicken Thighs
I used chicken thighs for these because they are so flavorful, but you can also swap for chicken breast if you prefer or if that's what you have on hand!
Cuban-style citrusy garlic seasoning blend
If you need to you can replace this for a mix of garlic powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and a big squeeze of lime.
Pineapple Pico de Gallo Salsa
This is so flavorful! If you don't have this on hand you can also use regular pico, and maybe even stir in some diced fresh pineapple.
Storage
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container.
