1 whole chicken, cut into serving pieces
2 white onions sliced thinly
4 tomatoes, chopped coarsely
2-3 cups of chopped fresh pineapple
1 cup of gata (coconut milk) or evaporated milk
4 tbsps. of cooking oil
patis
*how to cook*
Heat the cooking oil in a pan, add the chicken pieces cook until lightly browned.
You’re not exactly frying the chicken (you just want to seal in the juices).
Then add the sliced onions and chopped tomatoes.
Cook, stirring, until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the chopped pineapple. Season with patis.
Cover and simmer for about 45 minutes.
When the chicken is done, the sauce would be rather thick and creamy.
Turn up the heat to medium and pour in the coconut milk or evaporated milk.
Stir and add more patis if necessary.
Bring to a simmer, do not cover it otherwise, the coconut milk or the evaporated milk will curdle, then turn off the heat.
