1

In a bowl, combine the pineapple with the reserved juice from 1 can, mangos, peppers, cilantro, lime juice and pulp, orange juice, rum, and garlic. Let it sit for one hour before adding the chicken.
2

Strain the juice from the salsa to use as the marinade. Set aside enough salsa without the juice to top the chicken. Marinate the chicken breast halves in the bowl with the remaining salsa and juice mixture for 2 to 6 hours.
3

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
4

Discard the salsa used for marinating, and bake the chicken for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the chicken juices run clear. Top with the reserved salsa to serve.
