Pininyahang Manok sa Gata or Chicken with pineapple cooked in coconut milk is the perfect Filipino dish that you can prepare for lunch during the weekend or anytime of the week. This dish is tasty and so colorful that it satisfies both your eyes and taste buds — not to mention your hungry tummy.
This Pininyahang Manok sa Gata recipe is a variation of our first pininyahang manok recipe (wherein we used fresh milk). Both version are good, and it is up to you to decide on which you like most among the two versions.
I like to have piniyahang manok sa gata over warm rice. I thought that the combination of coconut milk, pineapple, and the vegetables is perfect. This reminds me of our pinoy chicken curry recipe (less the curry), which I really liked.
