Here's a sweet thick glaze that really dresses up plain chicken. We think it also tastes good over ham.

I ended up overcooking my chicken and it turned out a little dry, but with the mouth salivating sauce it was still delicious! I will definitely try this again!

I cook it just like edankers did, but next time I'd add a little extra cornstarch because the sauce didn't thicken up enough. My family loved it.

I increased the cooking time and temperature (400 degrees) as my chicken breasts were thicker and taking longer to cook.

I made this recipe tonight. It's very quick and easy. I have a very picky husband and he loved it!

I served this chicken at a dinner party and it was a hit with the adults and kids. I used a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple, 8 chicken breast halves and I 9x13 in. pan. I skipped the basting and poured all of the sauce over the chicken and baked for 45 mn. The chicken was very tender!
