Chicken with pineapple is a bright and aromatic dish of Chinese cuisine that combines tender chicken fillet with the sweet-sour notes of pineapple and exotic spices. This combination arose from Chinese culinary traditions that often use a balance of flavors: sweet, sour, salty, and spicy. The sauce becomes silky and rich thanks to cream and sherry, while vegetables add freshness and lightness. Served with fragrant rice cooked in chicken broth, this dish is hearty and harmonious, suitable for festive tables and Eastern-style dinners, offering gourmets the pleasure of a play of flavors and textures.
