Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Cut the 1 lb chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and the 1 red bell pepper into strips. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the chicken, cooking until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the 2 tbsp curry powder and stir to coat the chicken, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Pour in the 1 can coconut milk and add the 1 cup pineapple chunks and the bell pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 8-10 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Serve the curry over the 2 cups cooked rice, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.
