Pineapple, Sweet Potato and Chicken Bake image

This is an old favourite. It's from the Golden Circle website. My mum also has it in an old cookbook from the 1960's. It's a very easy recipe-just 10 minutes prep and into the oven (the original stated 20 minutes). To make this recipe gluten free ensure the soy sauce is gluten free
