This was so easy to make and very tasty. It will be one of my favorites.

This dish was the tastiest crock pot dinner I've ever made. So flavorful and healthy! Served it with steamed broccoli topped off the dinner.

This was delicious. Even my daughter, who strangely hates all sauces, marinades and condiments, LOVED this. I will definitely be making this again, and sharing the recipe.

I made this when I was reminiscing about our anniverary trip to Hawaii we took this time last year. It was good--I didn't have any ginger so I left it out. I think it needs some more brown sugar but overall it was good and my husband liked it so it will go in my recipe box :)

I used boneless instead of bone in and it was great still. Pineapple flavor very subtle.

This was a really good recipe for chicken. I added a few things-2 tablespoons soy sauce, 2 grated fresh garlic cloves, and a pinch of white pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. The ease of this recipe was wonderful, very tasty sauce, and my family liked it, I will make again-thanks! I served it with steamed jasmine rice and an asian vegetable blend.
