Really good - but we felt it would have been better if it were marinated a while first. I was outvoted because I wanted to add a bit of sugar too, but the rest of the family liked the more savory taste. Maybe just me, I think of pineapple and sweet. Definitely easy to make!

Delightfully simple and flavorful dinner - may DH really enjoyed this. I made it using 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts and a whole can of the pineapple with natural juices, and had to use grounded ginger as I had no fresh (sorry). I served it over brown rice and they ate it all up! This will be a regular in our rotation - what a great work night dish or when you don't feel like standing over the stove!! Another keeper, Jewelies!!! ;)

This is a very good chicken recipe! Simple to prepare, and a tasty sauce. The chicken was much tastier the second night after soaking in the juices. The next time I make this, I might try marinating the chicken in additional pineapple juice before baking. I might also strain the juice and thicken on the stove with cornstarch before serving. Tasty, healthy, and delicious! Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT3.
