Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, (breasts should be 4 ounces each)

  • ½ cup low sugar honey barbecue sauce divided
  • 1 can 20 ounces pineapple chunks, drained
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil

  1. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray.

  3. Arrange the chicken breasts in a baking dish and top with 1/3 of the barbecue sauce; rub in the barbecue sauce, then top with pineapple chunks.
  4. Add remaining barbecue sauce on top and cover with plastic wrap; place in the fridge for 30 minutes and up to 2 hours.
  5. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400˚F. Remove plastic wrap. Drizzle olive oil over the chicken.
