Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 8 pieces corn or flour tortillas (4-inch)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 pieces green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup red onion diced
  • 1/2 cup pomegranate arils
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 2 limes limes juiced
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate juice
  • salt + pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Cutting Board
  • Skillet
  • Whisk
  • Grater
  • Chef's Knife
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with the salt and pepper. Whisk together the olive oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. Add the chicken to a baking dish or resealable bag and pour the marinade over top. Refrigerate and marinate for 2 to 24 hours.
  2. When ready to cook, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken (discarding any extra marinade), cover, and cook until it is golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring once or twice. After the chicken has cooked, you can shred it a bit if desired.
  3. To crisp the tortillas, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil 1 tablespoon at a time. Add each tortilla to the skillet and flip, cooking both sides until they are golden and bubbly, about 2 minutes. Remove the tortillas from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain.
  4. Assemble the tostadas by adding the chicken on top of the tortilla, adding a sprinkling of green onions and covering with the salsa.
  5. Combine all ingredients together in a large bowl and stir. You can make this ahead of time. It will stay good for 2 to 3 days sealed tightly in the fridge.

  • Tip 3: Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Tip 4: Experiment with different toppings for a unique twist.
  • Tip 5: Consider serving with a side of black beans for a complete meal.
