Pineapple Chicken

April 8, 2020

We are at it again with simple yet healthy chicken recipe. This particular chicken recipe is loaded with vegetables hence the only accompaniment you’d need if any is a carb. You can as well use the vegetables you have at hand. It’s that flexible!

Preparation and cooking

Then in a separate bowl, combine the pineapples, soy sauce, honey, corn starch and the ginger, garlic and turmeric paste.

Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick cooking skillet/sufuria over medium heat.

Add the chicken pieces to the hot oil to cook while stirring till it begins to brown. Season with salt and pepper.

Once well browned, add in the bell peppers, carrots, french beans and onions and let the vegetables cook for about 3-4 minutes.


Add the pineapple mixture and let cook for another 3-4 minutes.

Garnish with coriander/ parsley.
