Tropical Chicken (Gluten Free)

WI Cheesehead's Note:

From the Gluten Free Club. I don't usu. cook with fruit (bcz of DH), but I do like the flavor of the pineapple. So my DH picked out the pineapple, but liked the rest of it! In the US, we have 20 oz cans of pineapple and that worked fine. I didn't use the stock cube and would sub. shicken stock for the 1/4 C water instead next time. I just realized I read the curry powder wrong and put in almost 1 tablespoon of sweet curry! I would probably do that again, as it wasn't too much. I don't think you need to simmer it for 20 minutes, if you are short on time and you thoroughly cooked your chicken in step 1.
