For an extra layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the jerk seasoning for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Fresh pineapple can be used in place of canned, just be sure to dice it into evenly sized pieces. Add a dollop of sour cream or guacamole to your fajitas for a creamy contrast to the sweet and spicy flavors.
