Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts

  • 1 ½ cups pineapple, diced

  • 4 bacon strips, cooked and chopped

  • 1 cup barbecue sauce (homemade or Sweet Baby Ray’s store-bought)

  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar

  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  4. Season the Chicken: Lightly pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.

  5. Assembly: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Add the diced pineapple and cooked bacon pieces on top of the chicken.

  6. Coating: Pour the remaining barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken, pineapple, and bacon, ensuring everything is well coated.

  7. Bake: Bake the chicken uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  8. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your flavorful Pineapple BBQ Baked Chicken Breast, a festive dish that will add a delightful touch to your holiday celebrations!
