Notes
Nutrition Disclaimer: Nutrition facts are estimates and may vary by ingredients, brands, and portion sizes. Use them as a general guide, not a guarantee.
Chicken Size Matters: If your chicken breasts are very thick, slice them in half horizontally for even baking.
Fresh vs. Canned Pineapple: Both work well, just make sure canned pineapple is drained to avoid excess liquid.
Serving Suggestions: Great with rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, roasted veggies, or a simple green salad.
