Coconut Curry Chicken with Pineapple

Yummy yummy in my tummy. The chicken was so fragrant. It was heaven. Everyone except A loved it, including the dog.  And A loved the sauce and the pineapple so it was not a complete failure on that end either. The simmering of the coconut milk infused with the curry powder along with the onion, pineapple and sweet pepper created a flavor that was mild yet defined. Having the chicken thigh cook within this broth allowed for the flavor to soak right into the tender meat. It was probably one of the most flavorful chicken thigh I have ever had.
