  • Step 1
    In a saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain & keep warm.
  • Step 2
    Meanwhile, cut the chicken into 1-inch cubes.
  • Step 3
    Wash & cut the peppers, removing the core & seeds. Cut into thin strips.
  • Step 4
    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the chicken, then season with salt & pepper. Cook for 3-4 mins, stirring occasionally. Remove from the frying pan & set aside.
  • Step 5
    Add the peppers to the same pan. Season with salt & pepper. Cook for 2-3 mins, stirring occasionally. Add a splash of water (about 1 tbsp per serving), cover & continue cooking for 5-6 mins.
  • Step 6
    Check that the peppers are tender, then add the ginger & garlic (grated or minced), curry powder & cooked chicken. Mix well.
  • Step 7
    Drain the pineapple (reserving the syrup if applicable) & cut into chunks, if necessary. Add it to the pan. If you have reserved syrup, add about 1 tbsp per serving. Stir & continue cooking for 1-2 mins.
  • Step 8
    Serve the rice in a shallow dish or bowl with the chicken & pineapple stir fry on top. Season to taste & enjoy!
