A delightful and easy-to-make chicken dish with a tropical twist, perfect for weeknight dinners.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Always preheat the oven to ensure even cooking.
Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Greasing the dish prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Ensure the chicken pieces are not overlapping for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, honey, Dijon mustard, curry powder, salt, ground ginger, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture evenly over the chicken breasts.
Use a spoon to spread the sauce if needed to cover all the chicken.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is bubbling.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with the sauce spooned over the top.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added color and flavor.
