Pineapple Chicken Skillet

I don’t whip out the skillet very often, but when I do, it’s always a surefire hit! I think it’s because of the aesthetic quality of serving a dish in a skillet that gets people fired up. And then once they do get that first bite, they get absolutely hooked. This pineapple chicken skillet is such an easy recipe to make and it takes just a little over half an hour to make.
