I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but I thought this dish was really good. The sweetness of the pineapple and the creaminess of the peanut sauce helped to balance out the heat.

This recipe is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili sauce.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped cashews or peanuts for extra crunch.
