Season the Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper on the chicken breasts.
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet or frying pan, warm the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, combine the brown sugar, soy sauce, ketchup, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Stir well to blend.
Add Pineapple: Stir in the pineapple chunks and mix into the sauce.
Return Chicken: Place the chicken back into the skillet, ensuring it’s well-coated in the sauce.
Simmer: Lower the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Check Doneness: Confirm the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, top with chopped fresh cilantro and serve it on a platter, drizzling extra sauce over the chicken.

For optimal flavor, use fresh ingredients and consider marinating the chicken for 30 minutes before cooking.
