How to Make Baked Hawaiian Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Rinse 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts and place them in a shallow casserole dish or 9x13 inch baking pan.
3. Sprinkle chicken generously with salt and pepper.
4. Drain one 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks, reserving the juice.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice (about 1 cup), 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon dried rosemary until the cornstarch is completely smooth.
6. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken.
7. Arrange the pineapple chunks over the chicken, placing a maraschino cherry in the center of each pineapple slice.
8. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened slightly. Internal temperature of chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
10. Spoon the delicious sauce generously over the chicken before serving over rice.
