I liked this a lot, but it just needs... something. Red pepper? Scallions? Something with a little kick. I'll will make this again but add something of my own. Made this with Recipe #302136 and Recipe #362340 for ZWT5 Jammin Java Jivers. Thanks for posting!

We had different reviews on this dish- mainly because my fiance didn't like the lime. If the lime was replaced with something else- like lemon or cranberry- it wouldn't have a "little" tart taste. On the other hand- I really enjoyed this. I had to use tenderloins as I was out of breasts but they came out SO TENDER.Thanks! Made for ZWT5 for The Groovy Gastrognomes.

This came out great, like podapo my DH isn't a huge fan of chicken so predictably he liked it less, but the sauce was a good mix with the lime being essentual to cut and balance the sweetness of the pineapple. I did up the garlic to 3 cloves since we adore the stuff. Please see my rating system: a lovely 4 stars for an easy and tasty recipe. Thanks !

This was a wonderful, different twist for chicken. I enjoyed it much more then hubby did, but in all fairness, he's not a huge fan of chicken. Congrats on your football pool win.
