Today’s Culinary Creation – Spiced Pineapple Chicken

Hey there foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique and flavorful recipe that has been a hit in my household lately – Spiced Pineapple Chicken. This dish is perfect for adding a tropical twist to your weeknight meals or weekend gatherings. The combination of sweet pineapple and spicy seasonings will definitely awaken your taste buds!

Ingredients:

  • chicken breast (400g)
  • canned pineapple chunks (200g)
  • onion (1 medium)
  • bell pepper (1)
  • garlic cloves (2)
  • fresh ginger (1-inch piece)
  • soy sauce (50ml)
  • honey (30ml)
  • sriracha sauce (15ml)
  • olive oil (30ml)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

  • knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • wooden spoon
  • mixing bowl

To start, thinly slice the chicken breast into strips and season them with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the chicken strips, cooking until browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, add diced onion, bell pepper, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Sauté until the vegetables are tender. Then, return the chicken to the skillet and add in the soy sauce, honey, and sriracha sauce. Stir well to coat everything evenly.

Next, toss in the pineapple chunks along with the juice from the can. Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Spiced Pineapple Chicken hot over steamed rice or with a side of quinoa for a healthy twist. The combination of sweet pineapple, savory chicken, and a hint of spice will leave you craving for more!

One clever tip for this dish is to marinate the chicken in a mixture of pineapple juice, soy sauce, and ginger for an extra burst of flavor. This step can be done the night before for a quicker meal prep the next day!
