I had high hopes for this dish, but it was a bit boring and bland. I added a little salt and some sweet chili sauce to it and it was awesome after that.

This came out very bland. I was hoping for some of the sweetness other reviewers complained about but I didn't really taste much of anything. I ended up getting out some sweet & sour sauce to at least have some flavour.

Overall this was a good recipe. I really enjoyed the flavors. I did find it a bit sweet and normally I do like sweet things but I found it hard to want to eat the leftovers. I would make this again but probably not anytime soon.

Awesome! I have made this twice now and I think it does better on a low heat setting. It got slightly rubbery after cooking on high. Still good though! Served with Jasmine rice.

Yummy! I actually used apricot preserves instead of pineapple tidbits. ( I had read the recipe wrong before I headed to the store.) It was still a wonderful meal! I omitted the butter as well.

I love this recipe for it's ease and simplicity! Not to mention, it's versatile and filling. The changes I made were as follows: I used bbq sauce instead of ketchup and I used apricot jam instead of pineapple preserves. I love the fact that I can use already-frozen chicken breats (don't have to wait for it to thaw), put everything together in a freezer-tight baggie and then keep in the freezer until I'm ready to stick in the crock pot. Delish!

I made this as part of my OAMC day and my family loved it!! I used crushed pineapple instead of the tidbits and served it with seasoned rice. Definately a keeper, and so easy. Thanks!!

I substituted thai sweet chilli sauce for the butter- tasted great and added a little zing. DH and the kids loved it. Made a second one the same night for the freezer.

This recipe was so quick and easy to put together. I did modify slightly to suit the ingredients I had on hand. I totally left out the butter and used 1 cup spreadable apricot fruit instead. The men in the family really enjoyed this and gave it 5 stars.
