Easy and yummy. My five-year-old loved it, which for me, is always a huge bonus. (So did my 11 month old, but she'll eat anything!) I thought the potatoes, which I sliced VERY thin, were just a TINY bit undercooked, and I didn't love them coated in BBQ sauce, so next time I might just do them separately or make some rice instead. But the flavor of this was quite tasty and the chicken was moist and delightful.

Excellent. Made it just as written except I used red instead of green pepper, and pineapple chunks instead of rings. Turned out perfect...had no problems with the potatoes cooking..they came out just right!

We loved this recipe at home... I made a few changes to it. Instead of using green peppers I made it with red peppers, added some carrots, potatoes, and pineapple chunks- I stuffed a whole chicken with the veggies and slow cooked it in the oven for a few hours... it was awesome! Thanks.

Fantastic recipe... what a great combination of flavours. My only comment would be to boil the potatos a little before cooking just to soften as they were quite hard. Will definitely use again.

I would have given it 2 stars but my mom liked it so I'll go with 4. It was way too sweet for my taste (and I used an original flavor BBQ sauce-one that was not sweet to begin with). I can't imagine what it would taste like with a sweet BBQ. I felt like I was eating potatoes with syrup on them, quite gross to me. But, like I said, my mom really enjoyed it--enough for seconds. It is an easy recipe and I just threw everything in a baking bag (baked the potatoes for 30 minutes first then added the chicken and green peppers and cooked about 30 more minutes). Very easy but not suited to my taste...perhaps with some chili pepper in it...

Absolutely delicious!! Didn't have bell pepper on hand, so I just used onion instead. Also, used honey BBQ sauce and pineapple chunks! Hubby and children loved it. Will make again!! Thanks!

My husband liked this, but I wasn't impressed. I didn't have green peppers, so I added carrots instead, and added extra pineapple as some other reviewers recommended. Still, I thought the BBQ sauce overpowered the pineapple, and that's all I tasted. I doubt I'll make this again as there are better 'Hawaiian Chicken' type recipes out there.

The veggies were great, but the chicken didn't absorb much flavor even though I marinated it in juice and sauce as recommended. Also, I sliced the potatoes thin, but still seemed to overcook the chicken before the potatoes were done.

My family really enjoyed this dish. I was a little nervous about combining all of the pineapple, potatoes, bell peppers and bbq sauce. I didnt think it sounded to good but after I read the reviews I decided to give it a shot. I thought it was very flavorful and I loved how the chicken turned out so tender and moist. The pineapple and the bbq sauce gave it just the right... ZING! My family and I agreed that we didnt care to much for the potatoes being cooked along with the other ingredients. So, next time I am going to serve the chicken over mashed potatoes as one reviewer had already mentioned. You could also serve it over rice if you want. I also thought that I might marinate the chicken in the pineapple sauce for a little while. It just added such a good favor to the chicken the first time. I think marinating it longer would make it even better. The cooking time was perfect. I took the advice of other reviewers and lined my pan with tin foil. But, before I did that I also sprayed the pan with cooking spray..BOY AM I GLAD I DID! It still leaked through the foil some, but because I had sprayed the pan previous the clean up was no big deal. If you are looking for a dish that is different and pretty darn tasty then give this one a try. I will be adding this to my recipe box for sure. Thanks for the recipe!

IF I COULD GIVE THIS 10 STARS I WOULD. AS THE KIDS SAY, OMG...THE BEST MEAL I HAVE MADE/EATEN IN AGES, & I'M AN AVID/EXPERT COOK! MY HUSBAND, WHO NEVER LIKES SWEET WITH SAVORY, PROBABLY COULD HAVE EATEN IT ALL...& I USED 8 SKINNED THOUGH BONE IN THIGHS [OUR FAVORITE]. I'M A LITTLE EMBARASSED TO ADMIT WE FINISHED IT ALL! SOOOOOOOOOO GOOD, REAL SOUTHERN COOKED COMFORT FOOD!!! JUST A NOTE: WE DON'T CARE FOR PEPPERS, & I HAD SEVERAL SHALLOTS, SO I PUT THEM IN. ALSO, LIKE OTHERS, THE THINLY SLICED POTATOES WEREN'T FULLY COOKED, SO I PUT THE LID ON FOR THE LAST HALF HOUR OF COOKING....TOTALLING 1-1/2HR. COOKING TIME [SINCE I USED DARK MEAT, & DOUBLED THE AMOUNT]. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW THE SAUCE THICKENED AS WELL. APPARENTLY THE WORDS WRITTEN ON MY KITCHEN WALL ARE TRUE....COOKING IS LOVE MADE VISABLE! THANK-YOU JOY!

I really enjoyed this recipe. I added onion and carrots to mine and it was just excellent. My husband really enjoyed it. He's not into carrots and peppers but he really liked them in this dish. It was so simple to make and I will definately be making it again!

it was very easy, and the hint about lining the baking dish was incredibly helpful, but this dish was too sweet for my taste. i would've liked a little more flavor to the chicken.

I decided to try this recipe based on my pal KOALAGIRL's recommendation, and I'm so glad I did!!!! I have to concur with her review. AWESOME! Yes, line your pan with foil, slice those 'taters as thin as you can and IMHO, double up on the amount of pineapple juice or all you're going to taste is chicken in BBQ sauce.I've made this twice in two weeks and the hubby and kids are still licking their lips. This "easy-pleasey" recipe's going into our rotation for sure. Thanks Joy!

10 STARS! This is awesome! I used chicken thighs instead of chicken breast, but otherwise followed the recipe accordingly. Baked at 375 degrees for one hour. Even though I lined my baking pan with foil, it still leaked and I see 3 days of soaking ahead. But who cares! This dinner was absolutely wonderful -- causal company worthy! I served with mashed potatoes because we had no red taters. Homey, comfort food! You have got to try this one, folks!

This was great! The juices from the pineapple and the bbq sauce really kept the chicken moist. I thought the temp and time were too high and too long so I lowered both and I wish I had just listened to the recipe. I kept turning up the temp and I left it in for over an hour! Thanks for the great recipe :-)

AWESOME!! We make this meal at least once every two weeks. The combo between the BBQ sauce, pineapple and pepper is fantatic. We did up the amount of peppers, potatoes and pineapple in the mix. Use two cans of pineapple for the juice, may not use all the pineapple. Great over white rice!

I modified this recipe according to other reviewers' suggestions: I left out the potato and peppers; I let the chicken marinate in the pineapple juice and BBQ sauce for about an hour before cooking, and I cooked the dish for 40 mins at 425. I prepared white rice as a side dish, and it was a great compliment. I will make this again, but next time I will use less pineapple juice. I would have liked the sauce left in the pan to be thicker. Overall, this is a simple, quick prep recipe, using pantry items that I almost always have. I am also stingy with stars :) Thank you for sharing!

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe! I cut it in half (except for the pineapple), and instead of placing the veggies around the chicken, I layered everything together in a casserole dish. Make sure you THINLY slice the potatoes so they are sure to be cooked. It turned out beautifully!
