Ingredients
Scale
Marinated Chicken:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons adobo sauce from canned chipotle peppers
- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon salt
Loaded Fries:
- 2 cups frozen French fries (or homemade fries), cooked and crispy
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ cup diced pineapple
- ¼ cup diced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Optional: sliced jalapeños, avocado, or hot sauce for topping
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: Combine adobo sauce, pineapple juice, vinegar, olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, oregano, and salt. Toss sliced chicken in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the Chicken: Cook marinated chicken in a skillet over medium-high heat until fully cooked and slightly charred, about 6-8 minutes.
- Prepare the Fries: Cook French fries until crispy. Preheat oven to 400°F, spread fries on a baking sheet, top with cheese, and bake until melted.
- Assemble the Loaded Fries: Top the cheesy fries with cooked chicken, pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and desired toppings.
- Drizzle with Sour Cream Sauce: Whisk sour cream and lime juice together, then drizzle over the loaded fries before serving.
Notes
- You can use rotisserie chicken for a quicker option by tossing it with the marinade.
- For added spice, consider chopped chipotle peppers or hot sauce as toppings.
- Sweet potato fries can be substituted for a flavorful twist.
