I recently tried out a new recipe. Pineapple Chicken. It’s kind of like Sweet and Sour Chicken, but with a bit of a twist. Super simple to make, extra tasty and definitely worth a try, so I thought I’d share the recipe. Aside from having rice on the side, this is a One-Pan Wonder, so easy clean up and fewer dishes. I used my cast iron skillet to cook this dish because it is the biggest pan I have; however, you can use what works for you and your family. This recipe makes enough for 4 people with leftovers for lunch, so it will definitely feed a hungry crowd.

So, so delicious!
