Hawaiian Chicken over Jasmine Rice

I was inspired by a similar recipe that I had made a couple of months ago, and Liam had really enjoyed it.  When we received two pineapple this week, I instantly thought of this recipe!  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning (Barbecue, Mango Lime, Garlic Powder)
BBQ Sauce
2-3 Pineapple Rounds (Sliced)
1 Cup Jasmine Rice

Directions:
Add the oil to the pan and turn the heat to medium.  Add the chicken and season it generously.  Cook until browned on both sides and turn heat to low.  Cook the rice in a rice or steam cooker.  If you do not have one, you can also cook on the stove-top.  Pour the BBQ sauce over top and allow to warm and soak in.  Add the pineapples on top and cook for another minute or two.  Serve over a bed of rice & enjoy!

Add the chicken to the pan and season it generously
