1
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper. In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pan.
2
Sear the Chicken
In the same frying pan, add the chicken thighs and sear for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from heat.
3
Add BBQ Sauce
Pour the BBQ sauce over the chicken thighs in a baking dish and crumble the cooked bacon on top.
4
Bake the Chicken
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C).
5
Prepare the Pineapple Salsa
In a bowl, mix the diced pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and soy sauce. Stir well to combine.
6
Serve
Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Top with the pineapple salsa and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Serve and enjoy!
