One Skillet Sweet Pineapple Chicken Recipe
Anything that can be made in one pan sure makes dinner clean up a breeze and one-pot recipes always seem easier to me. Similar to all my slow cooker recipes, this is simple and delicious.
My friend Allyson from Domestic Super Hero has been busy creating a few delicious recipes for TCB readers! This is one of them! I can’t wait to try it!
This would be so good on its own or served over rice as mentioned above. And we know the kids will love it because it’s sweet!
The beauty of this recipe is that you can add extra veggies if you’d like. I’d probably top mine with steamed broccoli, then drizzle a bit more of the sauce over the top.

You have lime juice in the recipe but not in the list of ingredients? How much should I use?
