To make chicken: Preheat oven to 375°. Spray a large skillet with no-stick spray, Heat. Coat chicken with flour. Shake off excess flour. Put chicken in hot skillet and brown on both sides. Transfer chicken to 8"x8"x2" roasting dish. Set aside.
To make sauce: Drain the pineapple, reserving the juice. Transfer the juice to a 2-cup measuring cup. Add enough water to make 1 1/4 cups.

Slightly reduce heat and gently boil for 4 minutes, stirring often.
Pour half the sauce mixture over the chicken. Arrange the pineapples and pepper rings on top. Pour on the remaining sauce. Bake for 30 t0 40 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink.
Great with rice. The original recipe called for 1/2 cup cider vinegar, but it was very strong on taste. I reduced it to 1/3, and it was a bit weak, but good. You may want to use between 1/3 to 1/2 cup cider vinegar, depending on your taste.
