This recipe is quick to prepare and a great alternative for a lower-carbohydrate, lower-calorie option in place of a potato side dish. My husband is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy and even he loved this recipe.

Thai Pineapple Chicken Curry
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.
