"I'm always on the lookout for low-fat recipes that are scrumptious, too, like this one," comments Jenny Reece of Lowry, Minnesota. In her dish, quick-cooking chicken breasts get wonderful sweet flavor from pineapple, honey and teriyaki sauce.

I made it exactly as it said & didn't like it. I will give it another try, but take some advice from the others and tweak it.

I didn't do any tweaking, I made it just like the recipe said and my family and I weren't impressed. The extra sauce or the other "tweak" ideas might help, though. At least it's healthy! :)

I love this dish! I did tweak it though. I cut the chicken into bite size pieces and use pinapple and mandarin oranges and increase the amount of sauce. It is wonderful!!!

I heard something I never heard my kids say at dinner before. Can I have more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed on Feb. 23, 2008 by karlyoh

When I made this recipe, I tweaked it a bit by doubling the sauce and allowing the chicken to simmer in it a while longer. I also added chopped red peppers. My whole family loved the dish, even my picky 7 year old!
