Chicken is one of the easiest, versatile, and most common dinner ingredients in my kitchen. (Check my out my previous chicken recipes) But you have to spice your everyday repertoire from time to time. This recipe is the result of one of those spice-things-ups.
Pairing chicken with pineapple isn’t that common in my kitchen, but thankfully no one is against it either. So when it came to this recipe, I wanted to balance the sweetness of the pineapple, so I used a delicious smoked cheese. Then I spiced it up with nutmeg, pepper, cayenne pepper and a generous amount of turmeric, hence the bright yellow color.
For the side dish, I chose french fries and vegetables, but rice or mashed potatoes are perfect too!

I have actually made a pineapple chicken curry before and that was pretty good, I’d have to swap the chicken out with quorn chicken now or something, but I’m sure it would still taste amazing!
