I love this combination for its rich flavor and tenderness, the dish melts in your mouth. I serve it with brown rice or mashed potato, both are good. It’s a very extravagant recipe with very ordinary ingredients.

Serves 4 people

For this recipe you will need:

1 lbs of boneless chicken breasts

1 onion

2/3 cup of pineapple chunks (raw or canned)

1 teaspoon of curry

1 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of black pepper

2 tablespoons of sour cream

2 tablespoons of mayo

2 tablespoons of cooking oil

Wash the chicken and cut the fillets in chunks about 1 in X 1 in  (length and width). Season with salt, pepper and curry and let the chicken marinade for 15 minutes (optional), if you don’t have time just throw them on a frying pan (add cooking oil before).

***Note from Helen*** If you don’t like curry, the dish tastes ok without it as well, so just omit this ingredient***

Peel, wash and chop the onion (1/2 of it)

Fry the chicken for 5 minutes, at max gas, then add the finely chopped onion and braise at medium heat for another 5 minutes. Add sour cream, mayo and pineapple and braise for another 5-7 minutes.

Ready!

Serve with brown rice or potatoes!
