A very interesting recipe and I think it’s really delicious; serving the dish in pineapple halves is so unusual and interesting. I really love the combination of chicken and pineapple. Thank you for the interesting step-by-step recipe, I will definitely try to cook it. I marinate beef in soy sauce and the meat turns out soft, tender and tasty.

Yulek, what original way of serving the dish did you suggest, I also liked the option of serving it in half a pineapple, it looks very festive and solemn, the pieces of all the products have such a shine - what gives this effect, pineapple sauce, or starch? Well, very good))) Well done, Julia, bravo!

Olga, Shura, Raisa! Thanks for the compliments The dish is very simple, but impressive due to the presentation (this is the second pineapple dish that I have published). It tastes wonderful, and most importantly, you can cook chicken breast, chicken thighs, and pork this way, too. If anyone loves curry, add a little to the sauce and it will sparkle with new flavor shades (this, of course, applies more to chicken). In general, try it and share your impressions. I will be glad if someone likes it. Shura, and shine thanks to starch. When the meat is mixed with the sauce, it seems to be enveloped in it and begins to shine like that :) I like it too
