How to Make Bbq Pineapple Baked Chicken

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