Creating Malibu Chicken is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps to make this incredible dish:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking.
2. Prepare Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
3. Season Breadcrumbs: In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are fully coated. Press gently to adhere the crumbs.
5. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the coated chicken breasts in a greased baking dish in a single layer.
6. Add Pineapple: Top each chicken breast with a slice of pineapple. If desired, drizzle some barbecue sauce over the pineapple.
7. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the pineapples on each chicken breast.
8. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
9. Let it Rest: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes. This helps to keep it juicy.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color before serving.
