Please send the recipe. I'll make it soon. Only one change I would make
from what you have mentioned. I would cut up the chicken into bite size
portions and serve it all over rice, rather than cook whole breasts.
I'll do a few whole breasts too though the first time.

Yes, I agree. Not sure I will use those cherries either. I
like the idea of the rest though.

Oh... and about the Onion soup mix. I've only used it to add to sour
cream to make a chip dip. And some people add it to meatloaf. I would
NEVER make onion soup with it. And if you wanted to make the soup, they
say to add 4 cups of water to one envelope of the mix. Sounds more like
"onion tea" to me.

Yes, that is what I thought and I was curious!

Chicken with Pineapple

· 6 split chicken breasts (bone-in)
· 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted
· 1 can (20 oz.) pineapple chunks in natural juice, undrained
· 1/4 cup maraschino cherries, halved, optional
· 1 envelope Lipton Recipe Secrets Onion Recipe Soup Mix

Set the oven broiler to high, usually 500° F.
Line a shallow baking pan with foil, leaving long ends to fold over and
encase the chicken later. Arrange the chicken breasts in the pan and brush
with the melted butter.
Broil the chicken for 10 minutes or until lightly browned on both sides.
Reduce oven temperature to 350° F (180° C/Gas 4).
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ingredients and then pour the mixture
over the chicken.
Bring the ends of the foil over the chicken and seal the edges with a double
fold, encasing the chicken completely.
Bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is done.
Make about 6 servings.
