Our family really enjoyed this, in fact my son asked if it was a new recipe, and to make it again soon. It was easy to make and had lovely flavours, thank you!

Yum! I cut down the recipe to make enough for three of us. It was very simple to put together and very tasty. I just think the directions need to be a little more clear on step two. I wasn't sure why I needed to put the chicken in a baking dish, which confused me a little (I was thinking should put it in the oven or just leave it cool down). However this didn't take away from the recipe. I served it with steam rice. Thank you mightyro_cooking4u for posting your recipe.

This is going in my MAKE A LOT! category. Easy, Delicious, low calorie, low fat... how can you go wrong. I reduced it for my family of 3 but followed the directions. Served with basmati rice. Wonderful! Made for the Every Day is a Holiday Tag Game.

Loved it! This was a very easy and tasty chicken dish. Simple to prepare and a great weeknight dinner. I used six boneless skinless chicken breasts and made the full quantity of sauce. The sauce would also be great with other cuts of chicken. We served over rice pasta spirals with baked sweet potato/kumera pieces for a totally gluten-free meal. I wasn't sure about the pineapple juice...but shouldn't have been concerned as the sauce was totally delicious as written. Photo also to be posted

What an awesome dish! 5 stars all around. We loved the honey mustard flavor of this moist and tender chicken. The only change I made was to cut the recipe in half. The sauce is so tasty that I would not hesitate to prepare it on it's own and serve over noddles or just some rice. I served it with recipe #241933 and recipe #322985. What a wonderful meal. Thanks for posting. :)
