Braised chicken with pineapples is a refined dish of Pan-Asian cuisine, combining the tenderness of chicken fillet and the sweetness of pineapples. Such flavor contrasts became popular in Asian gastronomy due to the pursuit of balance – the combination of sweet and salty. Carrots add a slight sweetness to the dish, while celery brings spiciness and freshness. Pineapple juice seeps into the meat, making it tender and juicy. This dish is perfect for a light yet nutritious dinner, especially when complemented with rice or noodles. Due to its simplicity in preparation and harmony of flavors, braised chicken with pineapples has become a favorite choice for lovers of Pan-Asian tastes.
