We found the combination of the stuffing mix with the pineapple to be a bit odd. Also, rolling the chicken was a lot of work. I won't be making this again.

This was a nice change for stuffed chicken. I did this on the grill instead of in the oven (I LOVE grillin') & it came out very nice. I didn't use toothpicks, instead wrapped with oven string. Worked out very well. I didn't have enough leftover pineapple syrup to make a nice glaze so next time I will double, thicken a bit, and use as a nice syrup at the end. Thanks for the recipe!

I'd give this 41/2 stars, but my husband would give it 5. I thought it was just a tad too sweet, but he liked it that way. We'll make it again though-it was pretty easy to do, and cooked in 30 min as promised. Impressive looking to slice into too. I added a slice of deli ham on top of the chicken before putting the stuffing on, which we thought worked well. Thanks for this new and creative way to make chicken!
