Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make 6 cutlets. Brush both sides generously with barbecue sauce, using about 2 tablespoons per cutlet.
Arrange the pineapple pieces or slices on top of the chicken.
In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and soy sauce to make a paste. Spoon the mixture evenly over the pineapple.

Remove from oven, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
