We are not here to prove to you that pineapples go on pizza, but we are here to show you how pineapples go well with chicken instead. If you think we are here to talk about Pininyahang Manok, then give yourself a round of applause because you are right!
Pininyahang Manok is a popular chicken stew here in the Philippines! Made with pineapples and all-purpose cream, Pininyahang Manok is undeniably tasty and moist. That is why it doesn’t come as a surprise that many Filipino households have this dish in their weekly meal rotations. With creamy and tangy flavors, Pininyahang Manok is truly a flavorful feast like no other.
We actually know two versions of this dish. One is made with coconut milk, while the other is made with evaporated milk or full cream milk. For our Pininyahang Manok today, we have decided to go with evaporated milk since we want something well-bodied and milky. Other than chicken, pineapple chunks, and evaporated milk, we were able to cook our Pininyahang Manok with the use of potatoes, red and green bell peppers, carrots, onion and garlic, salt and pepper, and brown sugar. With all this, we were able to provide our loved ones a sumptuous and healthy dish.
Pininyahang Manok is a healthy dish as we all know that chicken is rich in protein and that pineapple has a number of health benefits as well since it is a fruit loaded with vitamins and minerals. Indeed, Pininyahang Manok is more than just a delicious and filling dish!
On top of all that, Pininyahang Manok is a great dish for when you are looking for something quick and easy because this dish is a one-pan meal plus it could be ready in minutes! Such a lifesaver, if you ask us. No need for you to slave yourself in the kitchen, especially when you also had a long day at work and you just want to be wrapped in comfort and yumminess.
