Made this lovely and easy recipe for dinner on one of my fibro flare days and will definitely be a keeper for other days when I need an easy and quick dinner. From frozen chicken breasts to dinner served was less than an hour. I didn't have fresh pineapple, so I had canned and no lovely shell to serve it in. Used red bell pepper just for preference and threw in some snow peas as well for the green and made brown minute rice to make it that much simpler. A nice simple dinner after a very tiring weekend. Thanks for posting Wendelina! Made and enjoyed for team Mischief Makers - ZWT#7, South Pacific.
