Baked Chicken with Pineapple and Brown Sugar
TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
YIELD: 6 servings.
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

2 tablespoons brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon cornstarch
-
2 cans (8 ounces each) crushed pineapple, undrained

1/4 cup soy sauce

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.
