This baked chicken with pineapple and brown sugar is such a step up from a plain chicken breast. My family thinks the glaze also tastes good over ham. —Mary Ealey, Smithfield, Virginia

Ingredients

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple, undrained
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
Minced chives, optional

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar and cornstarch. Stir in pineapple, soy sauce, garlic salt and ginger. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 1 minute.
2. Place chicken in a greased 9-in. square baking dish. Pour half the sauce over chicken. Bake, uncovered, 15 minutes. Baste with remaining sauce. Continue baking until a thermometer reads 165°, about 10 minutes longer, basting occasionally. If desired, sprinkle with chives.
