Juicy chicken prepared with pineapples in a sweet and tangy barbecue sauce!
FRIENDS! If you’ve never combined pineapples, barbecue sauce, and chicken in one baking dish, THIS is your time! This is it!
P.S. HAPPY FRIDAY! Happy about-to-be the weekend! 
How about we have some barbecue sauce with that chicken today? I say WHY the heck NOT?! This stuff is lip smacking good. You will eat and smack your lips and lick your fingers. I promise. 
You know, it’s almost May, and since grilling season has yet to “officially” start, I went ahead and used the oven for this super easy, 3-ish ingredient recipe.
BY THE WAY! Do you count oil, salt, and pepper as ingredients? I mean, they technically ARE, but they also belong in every.thing you make, so they’re kind of like a given. NO? What do you think? Let me know! I’d LOVE to know what the popular opinion is on that. 
But yeah. If you’ve ever wanted to fall face first into a pile of pineapple chicken, here’s your chance.
This is so simple to make, you guys.
HOW TO PREPARE PINEAPPLE CHICKEN WITH BARBECUE SAUCE:
Basically…
- you’re going to season the chicken with salt and pepper;
- then, you’ll add some barbecue sauce (I highly recommend my Homemade Honey Barbecue Sauce!
) over the chicken breasts, rub it all in, pile all the pineapples on top, cover with plastic wrap and let chill for a bit. Like, for about 30 minutes to 2 hours. You don’t have to do that, but it does bring the flavor up several notches. - When ready, take the pineapple barbecue chicken out of the fridge, drizzle with olive oil and boom! I mean, first BAKE, then BOOM! Bake, then appreciate.
…and thhhh thhhhh that’s all folks! Have a wonderful weekend!
See you tomorrow with a brand new meal plan for next week!
