Sweet pineapple and salty soy sauce season a flavorful chicken dish from Carol Gillespie in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. “I adapted the recipe for my crock pot because it's so much easier to do the preparation hours in advance, then let it simmer all day,”” Carol explains.

This was excellent. I served it over white rice with steamed broccoli on the side. Very moist and very good.

The chicken turned out dry and was a little too sweet.

This was a little too sweet for my taste but my husband loved it.

We didn't care for this one. It sounded good, though.

I fixed this for dinner last night. It was really good and so easy. I followed others that posted on this and had rice and steamed vegetables with it. It was different from most anything else we usually have, but we all enjoyed it. I will be cooking it again!

I made this dish for a birthday dinner, and it was outstanding! The dryness of the chicken breasts that other may have had, might have been to the thickness of the breasts. I chose thicker chicken breasts and it was moist and so tasty! A great change for chicken breasts, I served this with white rice and it was perfection!

I cooked my chicken breasts for 3 hours and had no problem with them being dry. Then again, I only had 2 breasts floating in a full recipe of the "juice." I used honey mustard for the prepared mustard, and it tasted fine. Next time, I think I will cut the brown sugar back to 3/4c. I served this with Taste of Home's "Baked Rice Pilaf" (the recipe with shredded carrots) and poured some of the extra "juice" on the rice. It was fabulous. Dinner was just a little sweeter than I like, hence the change I would make next time.

The flavor of this dish was great. I served it with broccoli and white rice. That said, the chicken was a little dry -- not sure if that's something I did wrong? I probably won't make it again.
