How to Make Bbq Pineapple Baked Chicken
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and pat dry 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts.
- Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts side-by-side in the dish, pressing gently to fit.
- Season chicken lightly with salt and pepper.
- Add 1/2 cup of reserved pineapple juice and 2 cups of water to the dish for moisture.
- Set aside 1 cup of drained pineapple chunks from a 20 ounce can.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 60 minutes.
- Remove foil. Brush chicken evenly with 1/2 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes. Repeat step 9, using the remaining 1/2 cup BBQ sauce.
- Top chicken with the reserved pineapple chunks.
- Bake for another 30-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with stewed red skin potatoes, baby sweet peas, and strawberry shortcake (optional).
