    • Add the pineapple pieces to the pan and cook for another 10 minutes over low heat so that they soak up the sauce without losing their texture.

    • Serve the Chicken Hamonado hot, accompanied by white or brown rice to balance the sweet and sour flavors. Garnish with a few slices of fresh pineapple for a tropical touch.
