📝 Ingredients:

• 6 boneless chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons ginger, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons cooking sherry
• 1/2 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar

🔪 Instructions:

1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and cooking sherry. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to infuse into the chicken. Remember to reserve the marinade for later use.

2. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.

3. Bake the Chicken: Remove the marinated chicken breasts from the refrigerator and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, basting the chicken with the reserved marinade every 10 minutes to keep it moist and flavorful.

4. Prepare the Pineapple Sauce: While the chicken is baking, prepare the pineapple sauce. In a saucepan over low heat, combine the fresh pineapple chunks, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and butter. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until the pineapple is softened and the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency.

5. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, remove it from the oven. Arrange the baked chicken breasts on a serving platter, and generously spoon the warm pineapple sauce over the top. Garnish with additional pineapple chunks and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.

6. Savor the Flavor: Dive into the irresistible combination of sweet and savory flavors as you savor each tender bite of Beach Bully Baked Hawaiian Boneless Chicken Breast. Serve alongside steamed white rice or roasted vegetables for a complete meal that’s perfect for any occasion.

✨ Tips & Tricks:

• For added depth of flavor, consider grilling the marinated chicken breasts instead of baking them. The smoky char from the grill will complement the sweetness of the pineapple sauce beautifully.
• Don’t discard any leftover pineapple sauce! It makes a delicious topping for grilled pork chops or as a glaze for roasted ham.
• If you’re short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but for the best results, aim for the full 4-hour marination period to allow the flavors to fully develop.
