Pineapple Chicken

Submitted by LizP5885

"I got this recipe from Taste Of Home years ago and it was a family favorite for a long time. For some reason I had not made it in forever. We got back from Hawaii and I wanted to make a dish commemorating the trip and remembered this recipe. I made it and it was as delicious as I remembered. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!"

Loved it! Though I made a few changes...omitted dijon mustard (didn't have any) and added 1 tsp of each: tarragon, poultry seasoning and ginger. (Needed more spice for my taste) Thanks for sharing this one!

Made for Pick a Chef and a real winner! The only change I made was to make it with pineapple tidbits instead of slices. I served this with brown rice. Thanks for posting!
