Directions
Pineapple Glazed Chicken, When I first made this recipe, I couldn’t stop eating, and I don’t usually eat large quantities of meat in one sitting This is a very tasty and fast way to prepare chicken breasts–another great recipe from Cook’s Illustrated You can prevent dry, overcooked chicken breasts by using an instant-read thermometer to check when they’re done This can be garnished with parsley, cilantro, scallions, or chives before serving , I consider myself an excellent cook I have collected and tried recipes most of my life Now retired, I must say this is one of the most delicious meals ever I love it!
