My Hawaiian neighbor brought this over once, and I knew I had to get the recipe! 5 stars!

Baked Pineapple BBQ Chicken Breast is a delightful fusion of tangy, sweet, and savory flavors that will take your mealtime to a new level. This dish pairs the tropical taste of pineapple with the smoky notes of barbecue sauce, a combination that can trace its roots to both American and Hawaiian culinary traditions. It’s perfect for anyone looking to impress with a dish that is as easy to prepare as it is delicious and visually appealing.

This dish pairs beautifully with a variety of sides. For a wholesome meal, consider serving it with steamed green beans, roasted sweet potatoes, or a fresh garden salad. If you’re looking to keep the tropical theme, a side of coconut rice or a mango avocado salsa would complement the flavors wonderfully. For a more filling option, serve alongside a baked potato or a simple pasta salad.
