My mom is obsessed with this barbecue pineapple chicken. She loves everything with pineapple in it, and this dish delights her! It is incredibly easy to throw together with chunks of BBQ sauced chicken, fresh pineapple chunks, onion, bell peppers, slight heat from the jalapeno, and your favourite barbecue sauce. Serve this savoury and sweet barbecue pineapple chicken with rice or over green salads for a simple, quick, and filling meal. Make sure to spoon generous amounts of sauce on top!

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.
