Return the chicken to the pan and sprinkle in the curry powder, then add the pineapple with its juice, and the coconut milk. Season and simmer, uncovered, for 40 mins until the chicken is tender and the sauce has reduced and thickened a little.

Add the beans and pepper sauce to the pan. Simmer for another 2-3 mins until the beans are warmed through, then scatter with coriander and serve with cooked rice.
