Curry rice with chicken and pineapple quick and easy recipe

Curry rice with chicken and pineapple: it is an oriental dish. We can find it in India, China and Thailand and in any case it has in its ingredients the typical flavor of Asian dishes. We find this dish as I propose it especially in Chinese restaurants in the West; in Asia this same dish would be composed differently: chicken and pineapple covered with some very spicy or sweet and sour sauce and white rice to accompany everything. I propose the version of Chinese restaurants because it is closer to the Italian taste but the taste is very similar.
