ZESTY PINEAPPLE BAKED CHICKEN
BREASTS
 
2 lbs. chicken breasts (4 breasts)
2 tbsp. melted butter

GLAZE:

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In an ungreased 9-inch square baking pan, place chicken pieces skin side up. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 30 minutes.

Prepare glaze; pour over chicken. Return to oven and continue baking for 20 to 30 minutes (smaller pieces take less time, larger pieces can take more time), basting occasionally until chicken is a deep golden brown and fork tender.
