Quick, easy, and uses ingredients you probably have on hand.

"I made this recipe this past week and it was delicious! I doubled the recipe since I wanted to have leftovers for lunch the following day. After reading the reviews I decided to follow the advice given on some of the reviews to reduce soy sauce. For a double recipe I added 4 tbspns instead of 6 tbspns of soy sauce. I also added about 1/2 cup more of the pineapple juice and brown sugar to my taste. Everyone LOVED it!!!" - kychula

    This is so easy to make and so so good. I read the reviews and lower soy sauce and added some pepper flakes for heat and some onions. Yummy! Love me some pineapples!

    Made this for my boyfriend and he loved it! This was the first dish I cooked for him and he keeps coming back! It was so easy and raved to all of our friends about what a great cook I was! All I added was some extra veggies and I didn't flour the chicken, just sautéed it!

    I like Chinese pineapple chicken but this was not good at all. I ended up throwing it out and going out to eat

    loved it just the way it is. personally I don't like a lot of extra flavor hiding the pineapple.

    Wonderful but it needed some pizzaz. I added a bit of cayanne and 1/2 tsp ginger and a pinch of salt to dredging powder. I also needed twice as much oil to fry chicken. To add color i threw in red bell peppers as well
