Notes
- *If you don’t have access to wild lime leaves, simply use the juice from half of a fresh lime. Add it at the very end, after removing the curry from the heat.
- Store the Thai Chicken Pineapple Curry in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will remain good for up to 3 days. To freeze, place in a sealed container for up to 1 month for optimal taste.
- When reheating, thaw it in the fridge if frozen, then warm it gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Avoid high heat to prevent the chicken from becoming tough and the sauce from separating. Microwave reheating is also possible, but stir it periodically to ensure even heating.
