Honey Pineapple Chicken

20 oz Crushed Pineapple
5 Tbsp Honey
4 Chicken Breasts
Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Mix 20oz crushed pineapple with 5 Tbsp Honey. Cube chicken, season with salt & pepper and put it in a ziploc with 2/3 of pineapple mixture. Allow to marinate in the fridge for at least an hour.

Line baking dish with foil and broil for 6-8 min per side or until done. While broiling, put remaining pineapple mixture in saucepan and heat. Serve on top of chicken (or on the side).

We had it with sweet potato fries and a salad.  The kids (and I) LOVED it, and it was so simple!

Even better, I had no cleanup from broiling because of the foil!  Gotta love that even more!
