Yellow Curry Chicken with Pineapple

The pineapple in this dish was simultaneously sweet, spicy and hot; it tasted excellent! We used chicken thighs, rather than the breast it originally called for. We also used mushroom vegetable stock, rather than the chicken stock it calls for. Yellow curry is less spicy than its red and green near-cousins, and has turmeric to give it its yellow colour. This is an easy dish to make.

Heat the oil in a nonstick wok or skillet and stir-fry the curry paste over medium heat for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add the chicken and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes.
