The story behind this recipe
As you've come to expect, I don't want to complicate your life in the kitchen with difficult recipes, but I am always looking to delight your taste buds with new flavors!
I don't know how I missed this chicken with pineapple recipe until now, but having tried it, I will definitely make it again.
It pairs very well with simply cooked white rice. As an idea, by the time the rice finishes boiling, our chicken with pineapple will be ready.
For 2 servings, we need:
1/2 chicken breast (I use farm-raised chicken, and half a breast is about 300 grams)
A small piece of ginger (about 10 grams)
2 garlic cloves
1 small carrot
2-3 canned pineapple rings
1 cup of pineapple syrup
1 tablespoon of flour
50-60 ml soy sauce
30 ml cognac / white wine for flambéing (this is optional)
Cut the chicken into cubes and set it to marinate in the soy sauce. If you have time, let the meat sit in the soy sauce for 10-20 minutes before cooking it.
Boil the rice in salted water.
Coat the chicken in flour so that each piece is covered on all sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil and sear the chicken on all sides.
Flambé the meat after you have turned each piece 2-3 times.
Add the carrot, ginger, and garlic over the chicken, along with a little salt and pepper.
After 2 minutes, add the pineapple syrup, letting it reduce until a sauce forms.
The diced pineapple will be added last, after which we stir and leave on the heat for 1-2 minutes.
Serve alongside the rice!
