{Lighten Up!} Hawaiian Baked Chicken

My favorite pizza toppings are Canadian bacon and pineapple. Sometimes I lose the Canadian bacon and I just ask for pineapple. I love the stuff! But besides eating a bowl of fruit, pizza is about the only thing I ever have pineapple on. And that makes me sad. So I decided to go on a hunt for a delicious dinner that includes that sweet and juicy pizza topping I love so much.

I was excited to find this recipe for Hawaiian Baked Chicken and also realize that it is a light recipe. With minimal ingredients that are also not bad for you (such a plus), I was excited to make my family a great tasting and great for you meal.

As a side dish I prepared white rice. We placed the rice on our plates and set the chicken on top of that. It was SUCH a good dinner, my husband can’t wait for me to make it again. And did I mention that it’s easy? Woo hoo!

Makes 4 servings

  • 1 (8 oz) can sliced pineapple (I know, some of you are cringing right now because this recipe doesn’t call for fresh pineapple. I’m all about the fresh as well. However, some of the juice in the can is used for the sauce. So if you would rather have fresh pineapple for this dish, you’ll need to also have a juicer to juice some of the pineapple to add into the sauce. You’ll need 2 tablespoons of juice. But seriously, it still tastes great with the canned pineapple. I’m done rambling now, thanks for reading.)
  • 1/3 c. Heinz 57 sauce
  • 2 Tbsp. honey
  • 4 chicken breasts, thawed (about 8 oz a piece – so standard size is great)
  • salt and pepper

Directions

Drain the pineapple, reserving 2 tablespoons of juice. Combine the juice with the Heinz 57 sauce and the honey.

Spray a 2.2 quart baking dish (12 x 7 1/2 x 2 inches) with non-stick cooking spray and place the chicken breasts inside it. Season with salt and pepper.

Then pour the prepared sauce over the chicken.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour, basting occasionally.
(Oddly enough, I don’t own a baster. I used a spoon to baste.)

Arrange the pineapple slices on top of the chicken for the last 10 minutes of baking. And you’re done! Serve on a bed of rice, a side of green beans, or a nice leafy salad to complete your dinner.
