The chicken was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of pineapple or sugar.

I've never been a fan of pineapple in savory dishes, but this recipe changed my mind. The pineapple added a delicious sweetness and acidity to the chicken.
