Baked Chicken with Pineapple

Prepare the Pineapple Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar (or honey), ketchup, vinegar, garlic, and ginger (if using).

Add Pineapple
Scatter pineapple chunks over the chicken, then pour the sauce evenly on top.

Bake
Cover loosely with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 10–15 minutes until chicken is fully cooked (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).

Thicken the Sauce (Optional)
Transfer the sauce to a small pan, stir in the cornstarch slurry, and simmer 1–2 minutes until thickened. Pour back over the chicken.

Serve
Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds. Serve hot with rice, noodles, or roasted vegetables.
