I am confused about the draining of the pineapple. Why do you drain 1/3 cup of the juice and then add it back into the sauce? The recipe says: “Drain pineapple, reserving 1/3 cup juice. Mix sauce, pineapple, minced garlic, and reserved juice. Add to chicken; stir to evenly coat chicken.

This was delicious! I added some chopped red bell pepper which only added more flavor.My family said to add this to one of our favorrites.

This was very tasty although I think it was almost like a "sweet and sour" chicken dish without the green bell peppers. I used a teriyaki glaze sauce with sesames. I threw in some red pepper flakes but don't think I tasted them. Overall a good dish. Made for Spring PAC 2010. Thanks for posting.

I am an active lady, and I am not the top chef in the world, but I can hold my own. I love making things that remind me of when I was little, I love trying out new recipes, and I love learning new things to cook. Most of the recipes I post are recipes I loved that I found online, but that I have tweaked just a bit. I do have some family recipes on here too. I love to bake, probably more than anything else in the kitchen. I love to bike ride. I like to read, travel, kayak (I've only been twice, but I loved it), hike, camp, basically any outdoorsy/active stuff.?
