Pineapple Barbecue Chicken
This pineapple barbecue chicken recipe is a one-pan, 3-ingredient weeknight dinner with juicy baked chicken breasts slathered with barbecue sauce and topped with canned pineapple.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (breasts should be 4 ounces each)
- salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- ½ cup honey barbecue sauce divided
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks drained
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prep the chicken. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Arrange the chicken breasts in the baking dish and top with 1/3 of the barbecue sauce; rub in the barbecue sauce, then top with pineapple chunks.
- Marinate. Add the remaining barbecue sauce on top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or up to 2 hours.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400ºF. Remove the plastic wrap. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
- Bake. Bake the chicken uncovered for 32 to 35 minutes or until the chicken's internal temperature reads 165˚F. Use an Instant Read Meat Thermometer to check for doneness. Cooking time will depend on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. Remove from oven; let stand 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve. Remove from the oven; let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
