Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 cup barbecue sauce
  • 1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  • Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
