Easy Pineapple-Dijon Garlic Chicken
"This complete recipe is made on top of the stove...Although the recipe states to use chicken breasts, it's still good using any part of chicken, extra good with drumsticks! If you are using bone-on chicken pieces, make certain to cook for a longer time, the time stated is for boneless and skinless chicken breasts. All ingredients may be doubled. This is good served with rice. I also have added in a sliced green bell pepper too."
