I am so excited to find this recipe again. I used to make this all the time but somehow misplaced the cookbook. There was another recipe in this particular book I am looking forward to making again. I was able to purchase a copy on Amazon!

Very easy and delicious, my daughter came for supper and between three of us we pretty well wiped the dish clean!!! So easy and very much enjoyed, thank you for sharing this great recipe, made for Consideration Tag Game -
This was a pretty good recipe. I actually cut the recipe to a third because there was only 2 of us. I made minor adjustments, but I don't think it affected the taste. I did not use any onion and I used fresh pineapple (with juice from said pineapple) instead of canned. The chicken was moist but not soggy. Overall there was good flavor, but I was not completely sold on the ketchup flavoring of the sauce - therefor resulting in 4 stars. -
Was gonna cut this recipe down some, but after reading the ingredients I decided to go whole hog & make it all, & I'm glad I did, because, even though there are just 2 of us here, the leftovers were very, very satisfying! I did serve it with a side combo of brown rice & peas! Many thanks for another great keeper of a recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
