Seeing as how much I love my baked sweet and sour chicken, I thought I’d try another recipe with just a little twist– adding pineapple to the mix. I made this when pineapples were in season, so the pineapple that I used was juicy and sweet as can be.
I don’t like pineapple on my pizza, so I don’t know why I thought I’d love pineapple in my food. This dish was good, but not for me. I don’t like to mix the sweet and salty when it comes to my main course.
What do you think? Do you like eating pineapples on your dishes? If so, give this pineapple sweet and sour chicken a try.
