Daddy Mark VS Pininyahang Manok

Daddy Mark VS Pininyahang Manok
Season 1 Episode 1

In English, Chicken with Pineapple. With the help of my wife, Rhian, I will prepare and cook my version of. . .  "Pininyahang Manok - The Basic!"

There are different variations of preparing this dish, some uses coconut milk, some uses evaporated milk - i will use the evap since it's already available.

The ingredients that I used:

• 1 chicken breast, cut it to serving pieces
• 1 can pineapple chunks
• 2 potatoes, chopped
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 60ml evaporated milk (1 small can is 130ml)
• 1 onion, sliced
• 4 pcs garlic, minced
• very small luya, cut into very very small squares
• 2 tbsp patis
• ground pepper
• cooking oil
• 1 cup water

Cooking Procedures:

The dish looks very easy to prepare but I'm a rookie in the kitchen so here it goes -

1. Marinate the chicken with the pineapple juice from the pineapple chunks.
2. Heat the pan, at lagyan ng  cooking oil (put the cooking oil).
3. If natatalsikan ka na ng oil sa braso, add luya, haluin, at idagdag ang garlic. before it gets golden brown add the onion. (saute the garlic, onion and luya)
4. Add the chicken but do not include the pineapple juice
5. Leave it for two minutes
6. Add patis, pepper and pineapple juice, stir and leave it for 1 minute 
7. When the chicken is almost brown, add the potatoes and carrots so that the chicken will absorb the flavor
8. Add water and simmer for 5 minutes
9. Add the pineapple chunks and then milk, bring to boil
10. Once the vegetables are cooked, turn off the stove, remove from the pot and put to serving dish

Serve hot. Best with steamed rice.

This serving is good for 2-5 people, depende sa lasa ng luto!

My wife Rhian gave my Pininyahang Manok 8 out of 10 stars. This is my first home cooked meal served to my family, no one gets hurt after finishing my pininyahang manok.

Until my next cooking session....
