Carisa here from Messes to Memories! I’m so excited to be sharing one of my favorite healthy dinner ideas!! These Chicken Apple Tacos resulted from an experiment that my mom and I threw together when I was in college. Over the years it has become a family favorite!

I came home from college to visit my mom and she asked me what we should have for dinner. We were in the mood to try something new and delicious! We searched and found the idea for Chicken Apple Tacos. At first I was dead set against it because I am not the biggest fan of soft squishy cooked apples. But my mom put her persuasive skill to use and we decided to test it out anyway.

The result was amazing and literally one of my favorite dishes ever. The flavor is out of this world and it gets 10 points for being a unique and fun dish! It’s also super healthy! I mean it has apples in it! Add a little lettuce and cheese. Plus you top it off with salsa and guacamole! Mm… Two of my favorite things!

I always seem to pull this recipe out in January! I don’t know why, but it just seems fresh and exciting and definitely makes me feel good about what I am putting into my body! Perfect for the new year and getting healthy.

When I told my kids we were having Chicken Apple Tacos I got the weirdest reaction. My son (age 2) was completely confused why we were cooking apples and putting them in a tortilla… My daughter Lanae was thrilled we were putting apples in our tacos. She is officially the biggest apple lover that I know.

I promise, these are good and well worth trying! I have found that having the apples a little thicker and getting them cooked just right so that they aren’t soggy, but still crisp and juicy and flavorful really makes this dish pop!
