Pineapple Chicken Curry

A fast, easy, one-dish meal full of flavor

This simple chicken curry is bursting with flavor, and it is one of my fastest meals. You can have this on the table in a half hour with one pan to wash when you're done.

I like to use chicken breast or tenders for this dish. These cuts of meat are fast and easy to cut into small chunks, which will help you get dinner on the table as fast as possible.

The red bell pepper adds a pop of color and a pleasant taste that compliments the sweet pineapple and savory chicken. The pineapple gives this dish a juicy pop of sweetness that completes my favorite flavor profile: salty with a touch of sweet.

The yellow curry powder gives a bold rich flavor that is distinct and pleasant. It might add a touch of spiciness to your dish, but it is minimal. I've fed it to all of my babies and toddlers without complaint!

The honey takes this dish to a new level. It compliments the sweetness of the pineapple and contrasts perfectly with the savory chicken and peppers. It is perfection!
