Why This Dish Is Hard To Resist

This dish perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy flavors. The tender chicken pairs wonderfully with juicy pineapple, making every bite refreshing and satisfying. It’s a great way to enjoy a taste of Thailand at home with simple ingredients.

Cooking Advice

- Use fresh pineapple for the best natural sweetness and texture.
- Cook the chicken just until it’s tender to keep it juicy.
- Adjust the curry paste amount to match your preferred spice level.

Step 1

Warm the curry powder and curry paste in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Give it a good stir and cook until you can really smell those spices, about 2 minutes. Then, pour in the coconut milk and stir everything together. Add the fish sauce, brown sugar, and a cup of chicken stock, mixing well to combine.

Step 2

Toss in the chicken thighs along with the peas, peppers, and carrots. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring everything to a gentle boil. Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for around 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Step 3

While the curry is simmering, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of cold chicken stock to make a smooth slurry. Stir this into the curry to help thicken the sauce. Finally, add the pineapple chunks and let everything cook together for about 5 minutes until the sauce has thickened nicely and all the flavors have melded.

How To Serve This Dish

Serve this curry over steamed jasmine rice or coconut rice to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of fresh cucumber slices or a simple green salad adds a nice crunch and balances the rich flavors.

How To Keep It Fresh

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding a splash of water or coconut milk to keep the sauce creamy. It also freezes well for up to 1 month.
