Chicken Polynesian

This is a refreshingly flavoured and simple recipe that includes two perfect companions. Pineapple pieces and Chicken thighs combine to make Chicken Polynesian its worth. As a main dish served on a bed of rice or roast potatoes and peas. Both options provide a lovely hearty meal that is ideal for all ages. However, this dish can be served during a cold winter or a lovely summers day. It is flexible and so tasty. Serve Chicken Polynesian with a chilled glass of white wine for a perfect relaxing meal.  The addition of dry sherry is optional but adds an additional background flavour that binds everything together.
