A delightful dish combining tender chicken with a sweet and savory pineapple sauce, served over fluffy white rice.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Lightly coat the chicken breasts in flour, shaking off any excess.
Coating the chicken helps thicken the sauce during baking.
Place the floured chicken breasts in a casserole dish.
Arrange the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, and pineapple juice. Whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
Whisking thoroughly ensures the sugar is fully incorporated.
Pour the sauce over the chicken in the casserole dish.
Make sure the chicken is evenly coated with the sauce.
Sprinkle the parsley over the chicken.
Fresh parsley adds a burst of color and flavor.
Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Covering the dish helps retain moisture during baking.
Add the pineapple chunks to the casserole dish and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes.
Adding the pineapple later prevents it from becoming too soft.
While the chicken finishes cooking, prepare the white rice according to package instructions.
Fluff the rice with a fork after cooking for the best texture.
Serve the chicken over the cooked rice, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serving over rice absorbs the flavorful sauce, enhancing the dish.
