Such a delightful mix of ingredients and strong flavors that, when all combined, result in a really tasty chicken dish perfect for the whole family. Fresh ginger, soy sauce, sherry, picante sauce and delicious cilantro all add to make this a delectable meal which we had with brown and wild rice and a gorgeous fresh salad from the garden. Yummm!

This only takes 15 minutes to prepare but it sounds so delicious. I love the tropical flavors and am sure I'm going to like this dish. I really like cooked pineapple, especially with chicken. I think pineapple and chicken are a marriage made in heaven. I think the picante flavor will go nicely with that. I often sprinkle my pineapple with cayenne pepper when I eat it with chicken.

This is a great recipe to try for beginner cooks, since it all cooks in one pan, and requires very little time to prepare. Another bonus is the foil liner, which makes cleanup a cinch. The combination of spicy and sweet flavors in the sauce gives the chicken a nice zip, and also keep the meat tender and moist.
