Baked Pineapple BBQ Chicken Breast

1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. In a small bowl, mix the barbecue sauce, garlic, and paprika together.

3. Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and season them with salt and pepper.

4. Pour the barbecue sauce mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

5. Scatter the pineapple chunks around and on top of the chicken.

6. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the chicken and pineapples.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the sauce is bubbly.

8. Garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro before serving, if desired.

To switch up this recipe, you can try different types of barbecue sauce, such as a spicy or smoky version to add an extra kick or depth of flavor. Adding bell peppers and onions can add sweetness and texture. For a zestier take, squeeze some fresh lime over the chicken before serving. If you’re looking for a lighter version, you could also grill the chicken and pineapple instead of baking.
