Instructions
- Season the chicken with a bit of salt and pepper, then set aside.
- Heat the cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until it turns golden and fragrant. Then, add the onions and cook until soft.
- Add the chicken pieces to the pan and sauté until lightly browned on all sides. This helps to lock in the flavor.
- Pour in the fish sauce and sprinkle some black pepper. Stir well to combine. Let it cook for a couple of minutes to absorb the seasonings.
- Add the potatoes and carrots to the pan. Pour in the reserved pineapple juice, cover the pan again, and simmer for 10-12 minutes or until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
- Stir in the pineapple chunks and bell pepper. Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are cooked through.
- Once the chicken and vegetables are cooked, pour in the evaporated milk. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed. Serve hot with steamed rice.
