Some people grew up with the passion and interest in cooking, and most of them pursue a career connected with that, like becoming a chef or a kitchen assistant. But the idea of learning how to cook is somehow part of our survival instincts, especially when growing up or when you start to live on your own. Since we are already living independently, away from our parents who used to cook foods for us, we had to learn a few skills in cooking. And for today, this is what we had for lunch - Marinated Chicken with Pineapple.
Our apartment is just located near the wet market, which means we had an easy access to whatever we want to buy. While thinking of what to have for lunch, we decided to cook marinated chicken, but with a twist. We started watching tutorials on Youtube regarding the recipe, and when we found the right tutorial, we proceeded on listing down the ingredients mentioned on the Description of the video.
After putting the ingredients needed on our notes, we headed straight to the wet market and bought everything from Onion, Garlic, Vinegar, Soy Sauce, TidBits Pineapple, and of course the chicken.
After buying all of it, we already went home and started cooking. But first, we marinated the chicken with the combination of the ingredients. When we already dipped the chicken, we started preparing some of the ingredients needed. We chopped more garlics and set aside the Pineapple and other seasonings for later on, since we had to marinate the chicken for like 30 minutes.
After waiting for a few more minutes, we prepared the pan and put some cooking oil since it's already time to cook. Then, we already separated the chicken on the marination and set it aside. When the oil is ready, we put the chopped garlic first and waited for it to turn brown.
The next thing we did is saute the marinated chicken together with the garlic. We cooked it for a few minutes until it became golden brown which is an indication that the chicken is already cooked. We can already smell the aroma of the marinated chicken, but we had to add more seasonings later on, plus the pineapple that we bought that will surely level it up.
Do you still remember the ingredients we combined for the marination of the chicken? That's what we put to make the chicken tender and tasty even more. When we already put the sauce, we had to let it boil and let the chicken absorb the flavorf.
Also, this is when we put more seasonings like Ajinomoto, Salt, Pepper, and Sugar for a sweeter taste. And the final ingredient that we have is the tidbits / sliced pineapples. We already bought the one in a pack which is already enough for the recipe.
Then, that's it. After a few minutes of waiting, we finally enjoyed our lunch with our sweet and savory marinated chicken with pineapple. We surely asked for an extra rice for this. We hope you liked our simple viand. Happy weekend ahead!
Thank you so much for reading. Sending good vibes to everyone!
