Chicken Pineapple

 Luke Shimagata says:
The taste was great but turned out really soupy. I would try to work with this recipe a bit by either tripling the amount of chicken to 3 pounds or reducing the liquid portion. Or, if making a soup was the goal, I'd reduce the amount of ginger and garlic so that it would be a little less spicy. Never the less, it's a good starting point but needs a little refining.

This recipe is wonderful with the right adjustments. Like Mr. Luke Shimagata stated if you use milk it can be soupy, so I used a cup of sour cream instead and it was perfect. I also used fresh pineapple instead of canned, if you will used canned pineapples I would drain the juice first. Enjoy! My family loved it!

I put the marinade in after the chicken was half cooked but ended up scooping the soup out before I put the milk in. Worked great! Thanks for this simple recipe.

This was great, though I reduced the liquid & used cocunut milk instead. Delicious!

We enjoyed this. I used some of the comments. I used fresh pineapple including some of its juice. I drained off part of the marinade after simmering a while. I used half a can of coconut milk and added some red pepper flakes. Served over rice in bowls so as to soak up the yummy broth.

Easy to make, lots of taste. Next time I will again use sour cream, cut onions smaller, and add some green onions near the end to give some colour and toss on a few cashews.

One of my favorites! It was a weekly staple when I was at school. I use yogurt instead of milk and put it on top of rice to soak up the juice. Everyone loves it- thanks for the recipe.

When I selected this recipe I was not sure how my family would react. But surprisingly, my husband who rarely comments positively on usual recipes however tasty it is, told me that it was very tasty and my children especially my 10 years old son, who does not have any record of asking for a second serving asked me to give more chicken. Both the children shows their likings for this recipe. I served this chicken recipe with Pudina rice. I think this worked very good and today I am preparing this recipe again and going to serve it with Pudina rice. 100% from me...

Easy to make, very tasty and no hunting about for random ingredients, everything was already in the cupboard. Will certainly make again although adding my own bits & pieces. Great base recipe, thanks!!

Really good, soup like but just scoop out the chicken with a slotted spoon, problem solved, your welcome! Although, the liquid tastes great over white rice and sugar snap peas. I usually prefer to make this with Yoshinoya's (restaurant) left over red ginger.
Not too pretty to look at when it's done but tastes great, I have substituted coconut milk too. I also use red onions usually, since it doesn't list the type.
