This was fairly simple, fairly tasty, and the kids all ate it without complaint. It seemed like the ratios might be off -- we used 4 chicken breasts and it still seemed like there was more than enough sauce. So, I'd either double the chicken or cut the other stuff in half. Also, use only 1 TBSP of oil.

Good sweet and sour kind of chicken dish.I couldn't find seedless preserves so I used jam instead. I made this and served it over rice. I might try it without the pineapple chunks next time though b/c my kids didn't care for them.Easy to make & tasted good too! 1 cup of chili sauce is equal to a 12 oz bottle so you don't need to measure it just pour it in!
