Instructions
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add potatoes and carrots and cook, turning once or twice, until lightly browned. Remove from pan drain on paper towels.
- Remove excess oil except for about 1 tablespoon. Add bell peppers and cook for about 30 to 40 seconds. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
- Add chicken and cook, turning as needed, until lightly browned.
- Add fish sauce and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, stirring as needed.
- Add tomato sauce and reserved juice from canned pineapples (about 1 cup). Bring to a boil.
- Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add potatoes, and carrots, and continue to cook until vegetables are tender and sauce is thickened.
- Add green peas, pineapple chunks, and bell peppers and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until heated through.
Notes
- We are using the packing liquid to braise the chicken, use canned pineapples in natural juice, not in syrup, lest the dish will be overly sweet.
