    My husband and I LOVED it!! I grilled it on my Foreman Grill and it came out perfect!! The meat is moist and delicious, the seasonings are perfect. I sliced the chicken into strips, measured out 4 oz. and served it on a bed of brown rice with asparagus spears. Adding grilled pineapple next time!! - 7/4/08

    My family loved this! I didn't have any orange juice, so I had to substitute pineapple juice and it worked great.It is so fun to eat such good food that is good for you. - 6/30/09

    Chicken is a great diet food, although this one does not taste like one. You would think it had loads of calories with this lovely taste. - 9/12/09

    I really enjoyed this! I think I will pick thinner chicken breasts next time. I did tenderize them a little, yet they needed it a bit more. I also might double the marinade JUST to cover them better. Thanks!!! - 10/5/09

    This recipe sounds fantastic; I was wondering if it would work for a steak? I'm doing a LOT of grilling and dry rubs; low sodium soy sauce is a staple. Hubby lost 14 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks; portion control is the answer! (That, and delicious recipes!) Thank you for the variety; that makes diets work! - 7/3/09

    This was a wonderful recipe. The chicken turned out juicy and you could cut it with a fork! And my two 7-year olds raved about it even more- a true test of a good recipe! - 8/3/08

    The combo of the chicken, pineapple, and rice (which I don't eat very often) is very good. I will use the extra pineapple to mix with cottage cheese. Yummy. Doreen - 6/22/08

    This recipe was great. Made it for some dinner guests, but forgot to read the recipe ahead of time, so the chicken only marinated for an hour or so. It was still great. Cooked it on a George Foreman grill with grilled pineapples and rice. - 6/5/08

    A delicious teriyaki marinade, and I didn't even miss the oil that much, although the outside was a bit dry after cooking. I will make this again, but plan to cut back on the honey because it overpowered the other ingredients a little. I used fresh garlic instead of minced from a jar. Delicious! - 2/25/10
