Easy Barbecue Pineapple Chicken

I created this in a moment of desperation to make something tasty and fast. This ended up being one of the favorites! I like to serve this dish over coconut rice. It adds a nice subtle flavor to the dish. This dish also tastes better the next day after the flavors have come together more, making great leftovers!

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 4 cups your favorite barbecue sauce
• 14 ounces canned crushed pineapple
• 4 medium chicken breasts
• ½ cup shelled pistachios (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Step 2

Combine barbecue sauce and pineapple in a large bowl and set aside.

Step 3

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease the bottom of a 9x6-inch baking dish with butter.

Step 4

Place chicken breasts in the baking dish in a row. Pour pineapple mixture over the chicken, making sure to coat well. Cover the baking dish.

Step 5

Garnish with pistachios and serve hot.
