Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 5), cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon peanut or safflower oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons fish sauce
1 cup well-shaken coconut milk
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh pineapple, divided
1/3 cup chopped scallions
1 Thai chile, thinly sliced crosswise
2 cups cooked rice (preferably sticky), for serving

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until opaque and golden brown in places, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, stir, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add fish sauce, coconut milk, and 1/2 cup pineapple; bring to a boil. Stir, reduce heat to low, and partially cover. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. Divide chicken and sauce among serving bowls.
  • Stir together remaining pineapple, scallions, and chile in a bowl. Serve chicken with sticky rice and pineapple salsa.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I loved the pineapple salsa in this dish. It was the perfect balance of sweet and sour.

I made this dish in my slow cooker and it turned out great. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this dish with tofu instead of chicken. It was still delicious!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover rotisserie chicken and it turned out great.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less chili next time.

I found that the chicken was a little dry. I think I might have overcooked it. Next time I'll be sure to cook it for less time.

This dish was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used canned pineapple. I think it would be better with fresh pineapple.

I'm not usually a fan of coconut, but this dish changed my mind. The coconut milk added a rich and creamy flavor to the chicken, and the pineapple salsa balanced it out perfectly.
