This recipe was so simple and absolutely delicious! The pineapple marinade added the perfect sweet tanginess. Will definitely make again.

Quick, easy, and packed with flavor. I added some broccoli and it worked great with the sauce. Perfect weeknight dinner!

Loved the balance of sweet and savory. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out super juicy!

The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste, but still good. Might reduce the honey next time. Great texture from the snap peas!

Delicious! The pineapple really shines. I marinated the chicken overnight and the flavor was incredible.
