Notes

You'll have no trouble fitting 4 breasts in your baking dish, if using 6 alternate which way the breasts go in the dish and they should fit perfectly.
Want to fill out the dish some? Drain 1 can of pineapple chunks and pour the pineapple into the casserole dish before baking.
Prefer a creamier sauce? Whisk 1/2 cup of mayo into the sauce before pouring it over the chicken.
You can spoon extra sauce overtop of the chicken before serving, if desired.
