Pineapple Chicken Casserole is one of our family’s favourite dishes. We like it because it has a little sweet and sour taste with thick gravy. Also, pineapple and tomato go very well with chicken in this dish. This is a simple dish, yet is easy to cook and tastes delicious.
We use canned pineapple juice to marinate the chicken. Pineapple juice is used to marinate chicken in a variety of dishes, as the acidic content of pineapple juice helps in making the chicken meat more tender.
