Directions

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. Garnish with pistachios and serve hot.

Recipe Note

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!
