My family had different views on this recipe. We all liked it to some degree; some more than others. I plan to make it again, and do some experimenting with it.The chicken was very moist and tender! The cold pineapple, onion mixture is the part that raised the eyebrows. I think that if the onions and pineapple were sauted and served warm, my family would enjoy it better.
