Pineapple Chicken image

I got this recipe from Taste Of Home years ago and it was a family favorite for a long time. For some reason I had not made it in forever. We got back from Hawaii and I wanted to make a dish commemorating the trip and remembered this recipe. I made it and it was as delicious as I remembered. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!
