Chicken Al Pastor is a flavorful dish inspired by Mexican cuisine, originating from the traditional preparation of tacos al pastor. This version swaps pork for tender, marinated chicken, combining bold spices with a vibrant pineapple-infused sauce. The marinade typically includes chili peppers, garlic, oregano, cumin, vinegar, and fresh pineapple juice, creating a balance of smoky, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors. Grilled or roasted, the chicken develops a caramelized exterior while retaining juicy tenderness. Naturally high in protein, Chicken Al Pastor can be a nutritious option when paired with whole-grain tortillas or leafy greens. However, depending on preparation, sodium levels may vary due to the marinade ingredients, and added sugar from pineapple juice could be a consideration for some diets. Ideal for tacos, rice bowls, or salads, this dish captures the essence of Mexican street food while offering a lighter, leaner take on a beloved classic.
