Grilled Sweet and Sour Chicken, Pineapple and Pistachio on Pasta
This really is a great recipe. This adds the smokiness of the grilled chicken to a pineapple sweet and sour sauce whose flavor is enhanced by the pistachio nuts. Add this to the pasta and you really have a great family meal. I really hope you like this.
