Pininyahang Manok sa Gata Recipe

Soft chicken meat that’s so tender that it falls off the bone, the rich creaminess of coconut sauce—these are just two elements in one native dish that’s easy to prepare and even easier to eat up because of how good it tastes. The pineapple chunks in this recipe add a touch of sour tropical flavor that adds a flavorful contrast with the thick and silky coconut sauce here—the chicken absorbs this readily and retains its moisture, making for one incredibly decadent yet healthy mouthful thanks to the potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers and carrots that go into this recipe. You can choose not to cook the vegetables for too long so that they stay a bit crunchier as a counterpoint to the tender chicken. Just make sure you keep stirring that sauce so that the coconut milk doesn’t curdle up from the heat of the pan!
