# Ingredients:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 chicken breasts (skinless, boneless - use thinly sliced chicken breasts)
02 -
1 cup BBQ sauce
03 -
1 cup pineapple, diced (plus extra for garnish)
04 -
6 strips bacon, cooked and diced
05 -
¼ red onion, sliced (about ¼ cup, plus extra for garnish)
06 -
1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
07 -
2 green onions, diced
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
02 -
Place the thinly sliced chicken breasts in a single layer in a casserole dish or baking pan.
03 -
Using a spoon or brush, coat the top of each chicken breast generously with BBQ sauce, making sure to cover the entire surface.
04 -
Distribute the diced pineapple evenly over the BBQ-coated chicken breasts.
05 -
Sprinkle the cooked and diced bacon pieces over the chicken and pineapple layer.
06 -
Scatter the sliced red onion over the top of the bacon layer.
07 -
Top everything with an even layer of shredded mozzarella cheese, covering all the ingredients.
08 -
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and no longer pink in the center. If desired, broil for the last 4 minutes to get a golden, bubbly cheese top.
09 -
Before serving, garnish the chicken with a small amount of extra diced pineapple, a few slices of red onion, and the diced green onions for added color and flavor.
# Notes:
01 -
Using thinly sliced chicken breasts ensures they cook evenly and quickly.
02 -
You can cook the bacon ahead of time to make assembly faster.
03 -
For a spicier version, add a few red pepper flakes or use a spicy BBQ sauce.
