I really love Hawaiian Chicken Tacos. Its got such an amazing tropical flavor to it which is just so good. You have the sweetness because of the Pineapple and also the spice because of Yellow Mustard, Sriracha, and Chili Powder! Just a perfect combination of sweet and spicy.

I love cooking with Pineapple. It really brings in a wonderful combination of the sweet and sour in any dish. Have you tried my Sweet and Sour Chicken or my Pineapple Fried Rice or Grilled Pineapple Chicken Tacos? These are all of my favorite Summer recipes with Pineapple!

I love the sweet and sour combination of these Hawaiian Chicken Tacos. It's not such a commonly made Taco but when you make it, everyone is going to love it.

Instant Pot or Slow Cooker? Which is a Better Choice?

Cooking these Pineapple Chicken Tacos is really fun. You can cook the Chicken along with Pineapple, Onion, Garlic, Jalapenos, and spices in the Instant Pot or in the Slow Cooker.

I like to use the Instant Pot because it's such a time saver. The Chicken cooks in the IP in just 10 minutes and then I put it to broil in the oven to crisp up.

You can also allow the Chicken and Pineapple to cook all day in the slow cooker and then at night have everyone assemble their Tacos for themselves with their favorite dressing as well! We love this with some Spicy Sriracha!!!

You can also cook the Chicken along with Pineapple in the oven! Taking inspiration from my Chicken Carnitas recipe, I have tried making Hawaiian Pineapple Chicken Tacos in the Oven and it's just as good.

To make it in the oven, first, season the chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper and then bake it at @450F or 200C for 15 minutes. After that, get the Chicken out of the oven and use two forks to shred it. Throw in the Pineapple chunks, the chopped Onions, Garlic, Jalapenos, and spices. Pour in the Sriracha and Yellow Mustard. Toss to combine everything and put everything in the oven at broil mode for 10 minutes. Toss midways after 5 minutes.

After this gets done you will have the Chicken get all crisped up and the juices bubbling from the Pineapple! SO yummm!!!!

Can I use canned Pineapple?

Yes of course! You can use Canned Pineapple in place of fresh Pineapple for this recipe. However, since Canned Pineapple is soaked in Pineapple juice and sugar syrup it tends to be a little bit sweet. So you need to adjust the spices accordingly.

Other Substitutions Possible

  • You can use Corn Tortilla in place of Flour Tortilla. They are crispy and crunchy and tastes really good with these Instant Pot Shredded Hawaiian Chicken Tacos.
  • You can add some White Vinegar and Organic Ketchup along with other spices and sauces while cooking the Chicken. Ketchup really enhances the taste of Shredded Hawaiian Chicken Tacos, bringing out the sweet and sour flavor more!
  • If you like it spicy, then add some more Chili Powder and Cayenne Pepper while cooking the Chicken.
