Tips:

  • Choose ripe and juicy pineapple and cranberries: Using fresh, ripe fruits will ensure the best flavor and texture in your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown properly.
  • Use a quality cooking oil: A good quality cooking oil, such as olive oil or avocado oil, will help to prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan and will also add flavor to the dish.
  • Simmer the sauce until it thickens: The sauce for this dish should be thick and flavorful. Simmer it for at least 15 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half.
  • Serve over rice or noodles: This dish is traditionally served over rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
