This is definitely a family favorite, I also add pineapple chunks to it. Makes it so good.
Delicious! Added pineapple chunks at the end of cooking time but had to eliminate ginger due to allergy. Any suggestions for a substitute?
I made with boneless chicken thighs and also added crushed pineapple. I didn’t have ginger so I used about a tablespoon of ground ginger, came out great 🙂
This recipe is amazing! Followed to the letter except I added 1/2 can of pineapple chunks when chicken was turned to skin up and it turned out great. Also served with white rice and peas.
It will be a recipe I will use over and i
Rosiet, You are the best for writing this pineapple chicken recipe review! I appreciate you sharing it! Pineapple chunks on top of the chicken sounds super delicious, I am going to try it next time I make this recipe! 🙂
