In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, add the olive oil, onion, and garlic. Saute until onion is soft and garlic is fragrant.
Add the ginger, curry powder, cardamom, coriander, salt, pepper, and chile. Saute for 1-2 minutes, or until spices are fragrant.
Add the coconut milk, chicken breasts, and pineapple. Bring coconut milk to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

- If you serve with rice, cooking it in coconut milk makes an excellent companion to this curry!
- For those who are paleo, coconut cauliflower rice would be excellent with this.
- Start with half a chili and check the spiciness once everything is done cooking. If you want more heat, add cayenne 1/4 tsp at a time, tasting and stirring between additions.
- This freezes well and makes great leftovers!
