A flavorful and easy-to-make dish combining tender chicken with a sweet and tangy pineapple sauce, served over fluffy rice.
Combine the barbecue sauce, orange juice, brown sugar, ground ginger, and salt in a saucepan.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors blend well.
Heat the sauce over medium heat until it starts to simmer, stirring occasionally.
Keep stirring to prevent the sauce from sticking to the pan.
Add the chicken breasts to the sauce, ensuring they are fully coated.
Turn the chicken occasionally for even cooking.
Cover the saucepan and let the chicken cook in the sauce for 15 minutes over low heat.
Check the chicken's doneness by cutting into the thickest part.
Stir in the pineapple chunks and water chestnuts, and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Ensure the pineapple is heated through for the best flavor.
Serve the chicken and sauce over the cooked brown rice.
Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro for a touch of color and flavor.
