Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the chicken pieces in the reserved pineapple juice for 15 minutes, then drain and pat dry, keeping the juice for the sauce.

  2. 2

    Heat the oil in a pot over medium-high and brown the chicken on all sides for 6-8 minutes, then transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    In the same pot, sauté the garlic and onion for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

  4. 4

    Return the chicken to the pot, pour in the reserved pineapple juice and fish sauce, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

  5. 5

    Stir in the coconut milk, carrots, and bell pepper, then simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes until the carrots are tender and the sauce thickens slightly.

  6. 6

    Fold in the pineapple chunks and black pepper, warm through for 2 minutes, then serve hot over steamed rice.
