Thai Spiced Pineapple Chicken Curry

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a recipe that is perfect for a hot summer day. This Thai Spiced Pineapple Chicken Curry is a refreshing and flavorful dish that will transport you to the tropical beaches of Thailand with every bite. The combination of sweet pineapple, spicy curry, and tender chicken is a true explosion of flavors that will leave you craving more.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 400g chicken breast, diced
  • 1 small pineapple, cubed
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 4 tbsp red curry paste
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1-inch piece ginger, grated
  • 1 stalk lemongrass, smashed
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

To bring this delicious dish to life, you will need the following kitchen tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • large skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • grater
  • serving bowls

Start by heating some oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions, minced garlic, grated ginger, and smashed lemongrass. Sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Then, add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned on all sides.

Next, add the red curry paste to the skillet and stir to coat the chicken and aromatics. Pour in the coconut milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the sliced red bell pepper and cubed pineapple to the skillet. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender but still crisp. Season with salt, pepper, and lime juice to taste.

To serve, ladle the Thai Spiced Pineapple Chicken Curry into serving bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. This dish pairs perfectly with steamed rice or naan bread.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1200g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 300g and has an estimated calorie count of 400 calories.

A tip to make this dish even more flavorful is to add a splash of fish sauce for an extra umami kick. It will take the dish to a whole new level of authenticity and depth of flavor.

I hope you enjoy making this Thai Spiced Pineapple Chicken Curry as much as I do. Feel free to adjust the level of spiciness to suit your taste preferences and make it your own. Happy cooking!
