Tropical Delight: Spicy Pineapple Coconut Chicken Recipe

Today’s Special: Spicy Pineapple Coconut Chicken

Welcome to my kitchen, where I love experimenting with unique flavor combinations! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation: Spicy Pineapple Coconut Chicken. This dish is perfect for a summer evening when you want to transport yourself to a tropical paradise with every bite.

Ingredients:

• boneless, skinless chicken thighs (500g)
• canned pineapple chunks in juice (200g)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• red chili peppers, sliced (2)
• garlic cloves, minced (3)
• ginger, grated (1 tbsp)
• turmeric powder (1 tsp)
• coriander powder (1 tsp)
• salt and pepper to taste
• coconut oil for cooking

Kitchen Tools:

• chopping board
• knife
• skillet
• wooden spoon
• grater

To start, cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces and season with salt, pepper, turmeric, and coriander powder. In a skillet over medium heat, heat coconut oil and add the seasoned chicken. Cook until browned and cooked through, then remove from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic, sliced chili peppers, and grated ginger. Sauté until fragrant, then pour in the coconut milk. Stir in the pineapple chunks (along with the juice from the can) and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Once the sauce has thickened slightly, return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let everything simmer together for a few more minutes. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Spicy Pineapple Coconut Chicken hot over a bed of steamed rice or with a side of naan bread. The combination of sweet pineapple, creamy coconut, and spicy chili peppers creates a symphony of flavors that will delight your taste buds.

Clever Tip:

For an extra burst of freshness, squeeze some lime juice over the finished dish just before serving to brighten up the flavors.
