Made with beer lime grilled chicken and it was great all blended together on your plate. Good meal for hot summer nite - light and not too filling. Easy to make. I struggled to find a "1 quart cooking dish" and didn't have enough pineapple to double the recipee and use my 2 quart - ended up having to use more of a baking pan. It came out fine. Guess I need to add that to my shopping list.

This was just not for me. I guess I just don't like cheese and pineapple together.

A bit bland. This recipe needs something to give it a heartier flavor, but I'm not sure what ingredient to add.

I found this recipe and it's DELICIOUS. I modified it, using long-grain brown rice (1 part rice to 2 parts water) - bringing to boil, cover and reduce to medium heat cooking until water is nearly gone. I didn't add the salt or brown sugar but stirred in a couple Tablespoons of butter. This is a good tummy filler and nutritious. With the sweet pineapple combined with the cheese - it curbs MY cravings. Refrigerate leftovers - it keeps several days reheats without loss of texture or flavor. Great for dieters - I've lost couple pounds adding rice to my diet over past couple weeks. Enjoy.

This was delicious! I used Jasmine rice instead of instant or regular as some have suggested. The "nutty" taste was the perfect compliment to the other flavors. I used 12 oz of pineapple and used more cheese than called for. I mixed the cheese in with the other ingredients and sprinkled some on top to bake. The next time I make this I will not bake it. The rice is hot enough to melt the cheese and I won't have to heat up the entire kitchen. It could really pass for a dessert too...YUM!

I loved the contrasting tastes. I used white cheddar cheese. Definitely will make again! I also added ham and some parsley flakes.

My husband made this for dinner, and added cooked chicken breast chunks. Everyone loved it. I might cut the brown sugar in half next time, but it was still great as is.....

I have to admit, I had my doubts when I first read this recipe, but I was making pork chops and wanted something different as a side dish. I did not use quick rice, but just cooked rice the long way like I usually do. I also used Colby cheese instead of cheddar. This was Fabulous! Both my foodie boyfriend and my picky 12 year old son LOVED it. The pineapple adds a nicely sweet flavor to the rice that meshes nicely with pork. I will absolutely make this again and may put it into steady rotation when I make pork. Thanks for the great recipe!
