1. Stage
Place chicken in a saucepan and add water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Stage
At the same time, stir water and rice together in a pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and simmer until water is absorbed, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.

Cut cooled chicken into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl with garlic, poultry seasoning, and black pepper; mix together until chicken is coated.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray.

Trim and core pineapple slices. Cut into 1/2-inch chunks and reserve any juices.
