Diners take an instant trip to the tropics after one bite of this easy entree. Moist and tender, this chicken gets a fruitful flavor from pineapple, peaches and a zesty lemon glaze.—Gail Hutton, Bremerton, Washington

did not find the sauce very flavorful. just a ho-hum dish.

I think the quantities may be incorrect. The recipe calls for 1/4 cup lemon juice which is way too much, especially with the lemon peel. The recipe was very sour. One tablespoon of lemon juice would probably be enough. Rather than revise, I would try a different Aloha Chicken recipe.
