Author Notes
My mother and father loved sweet flavored meat dishes. This was one of my mother's favorites. Instead of some of the steps, you can used boneless chicken breasts and canned broth. Instead of cutting up the pineapple, you can use crushed pineapple. Today I would add a thin slice of fresh pineapple and sprinkle toasted macadamia nuts on top. —trishthedish
