Pineapple Chicken Delight

  4.4 – 113 reviews  • Chicken Breast

As close as I could get to the sweet and sour sauce served at restaurants is this homemade version. Always popular, it.

Awesome! Hubby and I loooved it. 11YO daughter enjoyed juicy, flavorful chicken breast. I didn’t have everything so here’s what I did: Seasoned chicken with Lion’s Tap seasoning blend and pepper, topped with a squirt of BBQ sauce. Used heavy syrup pineapple rings and juice (all I had). Sweet Baby Ray’s Original bbq sauce directly on chicken then piled veggies on top, next pineapple rings, poured on juice and lastly rest of bbq sauce on top of everything. Added carrot slices (fresh, thin slices) and onion slices. Omitted potatoes (didn’t have any). Let sit to allow sauce to thicken. Served over jasmine rice.

Yumm! Super easy and delicious! Paired with Old Quarter Torrentes from Argentina.
Diana Friedman
Had this for the first time at my daughters. It is delicious. I followed the recipe to the tee. My husband is very picky and he had seconds so I think he enjoyed it.
John Hodges
This was delicious! I was looking for a super-easy, minimal-ingredients pineapple chicken, and this is it! I really piled on the potatoes, peppers and pineapple. I didn’t marinade anything and it turned out just wonderful!
Michelle Holloway
Thank you Joy for the great recipe. I was wanting to do something with Chicken and Pineapple. I added some jerk seasoning to the chicken for a little kick. the pineapple juice and the bbq sauce thickened up a made a great sauce.

I made this recipe for a large family gathering, several people had food sensitivities and this dish was PERFECT. Can easily be made gluten free and as long as you make sure your pineapple juice is 100% (no syrup added) it’s pretty much perfect! I added carrots (yep, they taste great cooked in pineapple juice!) and added jalapeno to spice it up the second time I made it. 🙂

This is my second time making this dish and my family loves it just the same as the 1st time. The only changes I made was I seasoned my chicken legs and leg quarters with onion and garlic powder, ground pepper and creole seasoning before mixing in the bbq sauce and pineapple juice. Lastly I included some dark brown sugar in the mix .Great recipe, moist chicken sweet and savory!!

Made it exactly as recipe said ,really really good and so easy to make . First time I have written a review but it was so good I had to !
Kathryn Huff
I love how quick and easy this dish is! It turned out delicious but next time I would omit the green peppers.
Richard Lee
My family really liked this recipe. The prep is so fast. I used Sweet Baby Rays Hawaiian barbecue sauce. I did look at other reviews and microwaved the red potatoes for a few minutes prior to adding them to the chicken. The potatoes came out perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

Substituted orange juice for pineapple juice because we used a fresh pineapple. Marinated the chicken with about 8-10 ounces of orange juice, and half the bottle of BBQ sauce for an hour, then put the rest of the BBQ sauce on top of all the ingredients before putting it in the oven. A word of caution, we used a black pepper BBQ sauce, and it ended up being unfavorably peppery, so be aware. Overall, very delicious, would make it again for sure!
Gina Hansen
This was really good. I can’t believe how easy it was to put together and everyone loved it. (The second time I made it I left out the potatoes and served the chicken and sauce over coconut rice.) Thank you.
Brittney Bowers
HUGE hit and EXtremely easy. I did as suggested by others and cooked rice one the side instead of potatoes. Clean up was easy too!
Stephanie Anderson
Simple, easy, basic good food. I left out the potato as I was serving the chicken with a roasted sweet potato and papaya salad. Dinner was delicious, but not something I would make again.
Lisa Zimmerman
Loved this dish! Cooked according to recipe. Next time I will leave out potatoes and serve over rice. Excellent and easy!
Annette Johnson
This did not take as long in the over as the recipe said.
Debbie Sexton
This was so sweet and yummy! Will make again without the potatoes and peppers though.
Jesse Aguilar
This recipe was awesome! The only thing I added was salt and pepper to the chicken before adding the pineapple and BBQ. Despite the limited amount of ingredients and simplicity I was pleasantly surprised by the great flavor. I loved the potatoes (had to slice them very thin) and bell pepper with this. Will be adding this to my repertoire of recipes.
Priscilla Young
Just made this last night. So good chicken was soooo tender and flavors meshed well together. Added red onion instead of green and also sliced onions.

I tried this recipe a few different times. I thought that the oven temp would be better for bone in breast so thats what i tried first. It was awesome! However i did microwave the potatoes a few minutes before slicing them and used only half the pineapple juice. I also added red onion and mushrooms. My husband perfered to try it with boneless breast. After a few failers i managed to get it right only it took alot longer than 1 hour. I tried tasting the chicken after 1 hour and it was tough. I used the whole can of pinapple juice this time and it was still watery. I continued to cook it at 450 to thicken up the sauce. I had a rotisseri chicken in the fridge as a back up. About a half hour later the potatoes were tender and the sauce was thicker and to my surprise the chicken was even tender! My husband and my 25y/o son loved it!
