Ultimate Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry: Unforgettable Flavors!

This pineapple curry is a quick and easy Thai curry dish that’s sweet and spicy. I became enamored with this dish at a local restaurant and then worked to duplicate it at home. I think I’ve got the taste and presentation pegged. I’m guesstimating the amounts since I don’t measure much when I cook. Feel free to adjust to taste.
