This is an easy, mid-week dinner for you! This sweet and savory Barbecue Pineapple Chicken is so easy to put together, uses your favorite BBQ sauce, fresh pineapple chunks and gets a little kick from a diced jalapeno. Baked and caramelized, this Barbecue Pineapple Chicken is perfect with rice and lots of barbecue pineapple sauce on top. Feel free to use your BBQ sauce of choice. Everything gets roasted and caramelized. As the pineapples bake they break down and release their juices, mixing with the BBQ sauce that is great when poured on top served with rice to soak it all up. Tender pieces of chicken with a nice BBQ flavor mix well with the tangy tropical pineapple. Toss in whatever vegetables you care to if bell peppers are not your favorite. I like the pop of heat from the diced jalapeño that mellows slightly when cooked.
