Filipino Style Recipe: Pininyahang Manok(Pineapple Chicken) is a chicken dish that commonly served by Filipinos. Basically the chicken marinate in pineapple juice then cook with pineapple chunks, fresh vegetables, and spices. Some added evaporated milk or coconut milk to make the sauce creamy. The tender of chicken and the sweet and sour taste of pineapple make this dish irresistible. This is truly a mouth-watering dish and my family’s favorite.
