Combining pineapple, mango and spices makes a sauce for chicken that is such a unique recipe and a favorite of so many friends and family. We like to grill the chicken with vegetable kabobs. —Kim Waites, Rutherfordton, North Carolina

I used fresh pineapple, and some added juice and added mushrooms and sweet peppers and it was delicious!

My family absolutely loved this! I omitted the golden raisins because I didn't have any, and I served it over white rice. Easy and delicious!
