"This recipe was found in the Taste of Home Best Ever Chicken Cookbook 2009, & since I really enjoy fruity chicken breasts . . . Preparation time does not include time needed to cook either the chicken breasts or the brown rice!"

  1. Made this for dinner tonight with one alteration - used 1/4cu honey in place of the brown sugar. It came out great and got the husband seal of approval as well. I didn't try it but I can see a little red pepper blending well in this if you like some kick.
     
  2. This was a great weekday-dinner!<br/>I used homemade barbecue sauce (with apple and star anise) and fresh pineapple.<br/>The chicken was fanstastic tender and the sauce delicious. The crunchy water chestnuts gave a nice texture. We enjoyed this very much with a wildrice mix and Recipe #457785 #457785.
     
  3. This was great. 5 stars all the way for taste and ease of making. I made as directed with a "sweet" type bbq sauce, but think the recipe would work well with a "carolina" type tomato/vinegar based sauce also. Only thing I added was a handful of shredded carrots for some extra veggies. Green pepper would be wonderful in this also. Also think this would be good with pork. So easy to do and dinner was done in no time flat. I steamed my chicken with my rice in the rice cooker, then put it all together. So dinner was done in less than 30, a real treat for a busy working mom... Thanks Syd for posting such a great recipe.
     
  4. This was so good, we really enjoyed it!! Only change I made was to use b/s thighs since that is what I had. I simmered the chicken in chicken stock and then cubed; was a quick and easy recipe to get on the table. Served over egg noodles. Going into my best of cookbook! Made for Everyday Holiday.
     
  5. Can't say enough good things about this recipe. The flavors are fantastic and it is a nice change from a regular sweet & sour dish. The only change that I would make next time would be to use the liquid from the pineapple instead of the orange juice -just a personal preference. Will definitely make this again and would most likely add chopped cooked broccoli at the end at the suggestion of DD. Made as a reward for the winner of February 1~2~3 Hits Fall in Love with Red Tag.
