Many of my favorite recipes come from a cookbook by Terry Blonder Gohlson, called 1000 Low Fat Recipes.  My friend Jerusha gave it to me and lovingly marked her favorite recipes, and I have given it to my friend Sharon with my own favorites marked.

We made Pineapple Barbecue Chicken last night—very easy, fast and good, and the chicken was moist and tender.

1 20 oz can of pineapple

2 ¼ lbs chicken in pieces (I actually used breast “tenders,” whatever that means)

1 cup barbecue sauce

Combine pineapple and sauce in baking dish.  Place chicken into the sauce in a the dish (in a single layer) and bake at 375.  Thighs take approx 45 min, breasts about 30 minutes.

We serve it over lots of rice.  I made a salad with strawberries and mushrooms and her Poppyseed Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing.  Mmmmm.  And we had some chocolate chip cookies for dessert.  It felt like a feast, and it took me about 15 minutes total.  We even had leftovers to share with a neighbor.
