We really enjoyed this one! Sauce was flavorful, chicken was tender. Served it with uncle ben's chicken herb rice, and cauliflower. Big hit! -
This was a huge hit with my kids! It's so fast and easy, too. I used crushed pineapple instead of juice, and used 1 cup green and red peppers in place of the crushed peppers. I added a little more corn starch, and didn't need to remove the chicken.
