This was the recipe my mother always made when company came calling during summer months. Four ingredients and pure nostalgia.


This Chicken Martinique is a vintage-inspired dish with Caribbean flair—tender chicken breasts baked in a luscious sauce of cream of mushroom soup, pineapple chunks, and curry powder. Named after the French island’s love of bold, sweet-savory flavors, it’s creamy, slightly exotic, and ready with just 4 simple ingredients.
No searing. No extra pans. Just one dish, minimal cleanup, and a taste of island comfort—even on a weeknight.
