I was just coming to post this, since I just finished popping it into the crockpot for tonight's dinner. I love this recipe! It is so fast and easy, and just delicious when done. Super tender, too. I never bother to brown the chicken (and so never use the oil), and I am allergic to pineapple, so I sub 1/4 c. apple juice for the liquid in the can of pineapple and don't bother with any fruit. Served over rice, this is a terrific meal. I believe the recipe originally came from Taste of Home - that's where I got my copy, I think.

EXCELLENT! Fast and delicious...who could ask for more? I agree with the person who said that they added salt afterwards...it needed just a little salt with the sweet. My kids loved it, the hubby loved it and it kept me from being in the kitchen too long so A+ from me!

I doubled the recipe, served it with a fancy rice side dish and a waldorf salad. Got rave reviews.

I am giving this 5 stars even though I ended up changing the recipe a bit. I thought I had pineapple but when I went to get it, I found I did not. I used a 11oz can of Mandarin oranges instead. It was very good. the chicken was nice a tender. the sauce was good. Not too sweet but just sweet enough. We added a bit of salt after we served it. I thought the soy would be enough but we like things a little saltier I guess. The only thing that gave mixed feeling were the oranges. DD#1 liked them and DD#2 didn't. She thought they were to smooshy. I served it with buttered noodles. Good recipe!!

This chicken was delicious! It was very moist and tender, with just the right amount of sweet flavor. The best part was, I was in and out of the kitchen in a hurry. My family declared this a "keeper" , and I will be making this again and again. Thanks for this quick and easy Pick-A-Chef recipe!!
