Join the discussionThis looks delicious and easy – two of my favorite things. Freezing question: How many times can you freeze and re-freeze the chicken? If I buy a raw chicken and freeze it, and then thaw it and cook it, then freeze the leftover cooked chicken, can I take that leftover frozen chicken, thaw it, make this recipe and then re-freeze it? How many times can I thaw, cook, freeze, thaw, cook, freeze the chicken before it’s not good to eat?
How is the lime included? Just the juice of one lime? Or is the flesh/zest/etc? Included?
Juiced sorry!
Can this recipe be frozen before cooking?
Yes see the freezing directions above.
What do you serve this with?
You could serve it with cauliflower “rice” or some sauteed vegetables.
What do you do with lime? Peel and chop? Use the juice only?Thanks.
Thanks for catching that! We have updated to reflect juicing the lime, and adding to the other ingredients.
Is there a recipe for the pineapple salsa ease
Hi, Shani. Here are a couple pretty simple pineapple salsa recipes: http://www.twopeasandtheirpod…. http://www.savvybrown.com/easy…
Thanks heaps for that Robin 😉
Made this tonight using freshly made pineapple salsa (made it from scratch because I have other food allergies that stop me from being able to eat store bought)…. Ruined!DO NOT USE FRESH PINEAPPLE for this recipe – I learned the hard way there is an enzyme in fresh pineapple that quickly reacts with meat. The result was a chalk tasting, inedible mess 🙁
Oh no Michelle! I am so sorry to hear that! Is there anyway you could save it by adding a juice(or acidic ingredient) to cut down on the chalky effect from the fresh pineapple? Maybe lemon or lime juice? I hope you can still turn it into something else so it doesn’t go to waste.
Are you supposed to cook the chicken first, or does it cook in the oven then you shred?
The chicken should already be cooked and shredded before starting with Step 1. Enjoy!
I made this and it was a LOT of pineapple compared to the amount of meat – has a tried this with JUST the salsa and not chunks of pineapple? or has anyone tried this was halfing the salsa and pineapple chunks? we barley ate the pineapple – it was a waste
