Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 16-ounce bottle of sweet and sour sauce
- 1 20-ounce can canned pineapple chunks (in juice)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the sweet and sour sauce, pineapple chunks (including the juice), and soy sauce. Stir until well blended.
5. Pour the mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are fully coated.
6. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap in the moisture.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to slightly caramelize the sauce.
9. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the sauce and pineapple over the chicken for extra flavor.
10. Serve hot with steamed rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
