Pininyahang manok (chicken pineapple stew) is chicken marinated in pineapple juice. It is commonly cooked with pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and milk. There are two options to make the soup creamy and tasty. One is using fresh milk, and the other is using coconut milk. Most locals use coconut milk. It’s thicker and adds flavor to the chicken. It is optional, however, and depends on your preferences and availability. This is a mouthwatering, must-try for many occasions.
