I thought this was really good - and even my husband, who complained that he "doesn't like fruit in his food," cleaned his plate!! I browned the chicken first with some veggies (zuchinni, green peppers and onions), cut it up in strips and baked it in the sauce for 30 minutes. Yummy!

We enjoyed this dish; DH said 4 stars, until I told him 5 WW points. He doesn't 'understand' the points system, but does get the significance. :) I had some pineapple chunks to use, which I whirred with my hand blender, to more closely resemble crushed pineapple. I did use a little cornstarch, to aid in thickening, and I may have used a touch too much soy sauce, as I was eye-balling it. After reading some of the other reviews, I included crushed red pepper, for a little heat and some chopped peanuts, for crunch. This was served over white rice - Pretty tasty dish! Thanks for sharing, Redsie.

great! I used 1 can chunk pineapple and 3 Tbl. brown sugar and light soy sauce. Next time I'll cut back to about an 1/8 c. of the light soy sauce. My kids loved it! It was great with wild rice and asparagas. I'll definitely make this again!
