Instructions

1

Toast Spices and Simmer

Start by heating the curry powder and curry paste in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Give it a good stir and cook until you can really smell those spices, about 2 minutes. Then, pour in the coconut milk and stir everything together. Add the fish sauce, brown sugar, and about a cup of chicken stock, mixing well.

Simmer Chicken and Veggies

Next, toss in the chicken thighs along with the peas, peppers, and carrots. Turn the heat up to medium-high and bring it all to a gentle boil. Once it’s bubbling, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for around 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.

Thicken Curry Sauce

While that’s simmering, whisk together a tablespoon of cornstarch with a couple of tablespoons of cold chicken stock until smooth. Pour this mixture into the curry and stir it in well. Finally, add the pineapple chunks and let everything cook for another 5 minutes or so, until the sauce has thickened nicely and the flavors have melded together.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

This dish offers a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors with a creamy, spicy curry sauce. The tender chicken pairs beautifully with the juicy pineapple, creating a refreshing twist on a classic Thai favorite. It’s both comforting and vibrant, making it a crowd-pleaser.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this dish over steamed jasmine rice to soak up the flavorful sauce. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for extra brightness. It also pairs well with a side of lightly sautéed greens or a crisp cucumber salad.

Storage Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to prevent the chicken from drying out. This curry also freezes well—thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
