Pininyahang Manok literally translates to pineapple chicken. This Recipe calls for chicken slices to be marinated in pineapple juice then stewed with pineapple chunks. Aside from pineapples, secondary ingredients such as carrots, bell pepper, and milk make-up the dish.
There are some variations of this dish and the obvious difference is the use of fresh/evaporated milk over coconut milk or vice versa. I would say that both variations will yield good results though I used fresh milk in this recipe because that is the style that I grew-up eating and it never ceases to give me that nostalgic feeling.
Try this Pininyahang Manok recipe.

Kuya Salamat sa Recipe!Kuya hindi mo na po ba ito nilalagyan ng pampalasa like Salt?If Fish sauce lang po parang kulang sa lasa!
Ryan, para sakin salty na ang patis but if you want more then please feel free to add salt.
kuya tanong ko lang po yong fresh milk na tinutukoy mo ito ba ay fresh milk na gatas o fresh coconut milk na co confused lang po ako kaya di ko po maumpisahan eh..salamat kung mareply nyo po agad. sana di kayomagsawa sa pag share ng mga alam mo luto. mabuhay ka! god bless
oo nga mas masarap kc pag patis pinang timpla, but if u want more salty, just add more patis nlang wag na salt pra mas masarap.

kuya i have a question talaga po bang namu2o yung milk kc nung nilu2 q po 2ng recipe na 2 namuo ung milk pero kahit ganun ang nangyari nasarapan parin cla sa luto q. thank’s to you kuya…..c”,)
Did you use fresh milk or powdered? Sa experience ko in using frsh milk, may possibility na mamuo pero di masyadong compact yung pagkabuo. All I do is stir more para ma-dilute. If powdered milk ang gamit mo, there is a big possibility na hindi na dilute yung milk sa water mabuti kaya namuo.
pwede ba evap milk instead of fresh milk?
Ang galing mu magluto kuya. Thanks for your recipes it helps me a lot!
More power and God bless!

Hi! Good day to you. I’ve been a subscriber of Panlasang Pinoy since last year and I haven’t tried your recipes until yesterday. I am a working mom here in KSA with a 1 1/2 year old baby girl so no matter how much i want to try all your recipes, i don’t have time and energy. We just came back from our vacation a week ago and i feel more relaxed so i try this one. And you know what, I am so satisfied….. Now i am more eager to try cooking something else…..maybe next friday i will try EGG FOO YOUNG….. Keep up the good works…and thank you soooo much.
First time ko magluto ng Pininyahang manok.Ang sarap ng kinalabasan, nagustuhan ng mga kasama ko sa bahay. Thanks, Panlasang Pinoy. Keep it up! I’m gonna try pa yung ibang mga dishes dito.
salamat sa recipe na toh ang sarap nung natry ko

thanks for all the help.Is it okay to marinate the chicken overnight?because i already marinated the chicken and i decided to cook it tomorrow because its already late.i think it would be great to serve it freshly cooked.

Hi. I been away from the country for sometime now and cooking is my biggest weakness besides sa fact that someone is doing the cooking for us,our very loving manang. So i get used to pre-made food that can be heat up to microwave until i got a chef boyfriend. I was so scared and nervous when he asked me to do cooking for him. Since i got no idea what to do i search on the internet and i found your website all my attention was caught because you make it looks easy and it was easy. You feature almost all my favorite food. I carefully followed your recipe and it turns out to be perfect. Weekly i cook different Filipino food for him and he told me that i am much better chef than him and from that moment on my bf became a fan of Filipino food. I love your recipes. Thank you and God bless. I hope you can publish more recipe about desserts and sweet kakanin i miss those food.
Panlasang Pinoy never failed me… It always come in handy whenever I need a resource to double-check my recipe!
Same here,sinubukan ko din yung Sinanglay na tilapia at nagustuhan ng mga kasama ko sa bahay. i will try Pininyahang Manok for dinner sigurado madami na naman makakain si missis..
