This recipe was a disaster. The chicken was tough and the pineapple vinaigrette was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

The coconut chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. The pineapple vinaigrette was good, though.

This dish is a bit bland for my taste. I added some chopped cilantro and jalapeño to the pineapple vinaigrette to give it a little more kick.

I'm not a fan of pineapple, so I used mango instead in the vinaigrette. It was a great substitute and added a tropical flavor to the dish.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, so I omitted the cayenne pepper from the pineapple vinaigrette. It was still delicious!

I'm allergic to coconut, so I substituted almond flour for the coconut flour. The chicken still turned out great, and the almond flour gave it a nice nutty flavor.

I substituted Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise in the pineapple vinaigrette and it turned out great! The vinaigrette was still creamy and tangy, but with a healthier twist.
