Ingredients

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 3/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh sage finely chopped
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh pineapple, chopped to garnish optional

Instructions

  • Whisk together olive oil, pineapple juice, sage, and ground black pepper.
  • Marinate chicken breasts at least 2 hours (overnight is best).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
  • Place chicken onto prepared baking sheet and spoon any extra marinade evenly over chicken breasts.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Garnish with fresh pineapple, if desired.

Notes

  • If using dried sage instead of fresh, use 1/3 the amount.
  • Chicken can be marinated for up to 48 hours.
