Intro

Today, I am sharing a recipe inspired by a recent trip to a tropical island. The flavors of coconut, pineapple, and a hint of spice take me right back to the serene beaches and warm sun. I hope this dish can bring a bit of that vacation feeling to your own kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 200ml coconut milk
  • 150g fresh pineapple, diced
  • 1 tbsp curry powder
  • 400g chicken breast, sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • to taste

Kitchen Tools

  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board
  • skillet
  • wooden spatula

Preparation

Start by heating a skillet over medium heat. Add in the coconut milk and curry powder, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for a few minutes until the flavors meld together.
Next, add in the chicken breast slices, red bell pepper, and diced pineapple. Let the ingredients simmer in the coconut curry sauce until the chicken is cooked through and the flavors have fully developed.
Finish off the dish by squeezing fresh lime juice over the top and garnishing with chopped cilantro. Add salt to taste and give everything a final stir to incorporate all the flavors.

Tips

For a unique twist, try adding a sprinkle of toasted coconut on top before serving. The crunch and extra hint of coconut flavor will take this dish to the next level.

Serving

Once complete, this tropical coconut curry with pineapple is best served hot over a bed of fluffy white rice or with a side of naan bread. The combination of sweet pineapple, savory chicken, and creamy coconut is sure to tantalize your taste buds.
