Sweet & Sour Pineapple Chicken Delight

A very tasty dish with an unusual presentation for lovers of Asian cuisine. This is not a 100% Chinese recipe, but rather my thoughts "based on it", but the result is very tasty. The dish is prepared quickly, if you like Asian cuisine, you will definitely like it. And if you present it beautifully, the mantle of “queen of the kitchen” will be yours :))))
