Pineapple Chicken Afritada with Rice

Chicken pineapple afritada is a flavorful Filipino dish that combines tender chicken pieces with a rich tomato sauce, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and the sweet tanginess of pineapple chunks. The dish is typically cooked by sautéing garlic, onions, and sometimes, bell peppers, then adding chicken pieces and browning them lightly. Next, tomato sauce or fresh tomatoes are added along with water or broth to create a savory base. Potatoes and carrots are added for heartiness, and the dish is simmered until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. Towards the end of cooking, pineapple chunks are added to infuse the dish with a sweet and slightly tangy flavor
