I find it laughable this recipe is named "...Polynesian..." there is absolutely NOTHING polynesian about it. Sorry, this won't cut it with ANY polynesian that cooks. i rate it 1/2 a star for no prep, no creativity or taste. better luck next time.

It is a quick, easy recipe, but very little flavor. I make it when I need a quick meal and make sure my side dishes carry great flavor.

As this stands it has no taste at all. Bland with a capitol B. You can play with it if you want to, and try to make something from it, or just try to save it. Thats what I did so I can't rate this any higher than a one as when I got done I didn't have this recipe anymore. So mush better to just find a better recipe.

Pretty much what I expected; a quick and easy way to start chicken; we just had some johnny's seasoning salt on the table to eat it with, and a nice flavorful rice and some veggies. What to expect: A mild, slightly sweet chicken that takes four minutes to prepare (and how much of a blessing is that on a busy night!) with not a ton of flavor on its own...just have some spices on hand

This is a great base recipe. I took the advice from other reviews and added my own seasonings. I used a fruit medley in light fruit juice syrup (rather than fruit cocktail), and I seasoned the chicken with garlic salt/powder, chili powder, Old Bay seasoning, and Teriyaki sauce. I also covered the dish while it was baking. Overall it turned out really well. It was very tender, and I would certainly try the recipe again using different seasonings. I rated this a 3 only because it will require some experimentation with seasonings to make this recipe complete. I would certainly recommend it for a quick meal after a long day. Thanks for the great idea.

As the others say, it is somewhat bland. But for the amount of effort put into it, it's not bad. It's good for novice cooks like me.

I didn't have fruit cocktail so I substituted canned sliced peaches instead. It came out delicious. Spray cooking pan before adding chicken so it won't stick.

I thought some of the things I had to serve in the Navy was bad, but this one I think I would have refused to serve without adding to it drasticly!

I agree w/ many others, the chicken does turn out pretty juicy but bland. Add more seasonings!

Very plain and bland. We did it both with real chicken and with fake vegetarian chicken-like meat. The fruit tasted pretty icky after baking.

The chicken was too sweet and sticky. Maybe fresh fruit would be better. I am not a fan of really sweet stuff.

Chicken was very tender. I sprinkled caribbean jerk seasoning on the chicken before pouring in the fruit cocktail, due to previous reviews expressing blandness. It was still missing a little something, but the family gobbled it up.

I topped the chicken first with a teriyaki sauce then baked it with the fruit cocktail. No one in my family liked this - way too bland.

Going along with the others...A great base recipe. I took the advice of another and added honey teriyaki sauce, garlic powder, pepper, coconut and raisins. I cooked three large chicken breasts (not pounded)with the mixture in a large foil pouch on 325 degrees. After 35 minutes, the breasts were still pretty raw so I turned up the hear to 385 degrees for another 15 minutes. The chicken was tender and flavorful even though it was cooking for a long time. So if you do it this way, turn up the heat to 375 for about 30 minutes. I also put the dish over orzo with fresh spinach and pine nuts mixed in and a little parmesan. Yummy, my family ate it up! Thanks!
