Description
A sweet and savory Hawaiian-inspired sheet pan dinner featuring juicy chicken, roasted bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple tossed in a flavorful honey soy glaze. An easy one-pan meal perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro or parsley (optional)
- Cooked white or brown rice for serving
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with non-stick spray.
3. In a large bowl combine the chicken pieces, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple chunks.
4. In a separate bowl whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
5. Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and toss until everything is evenly coated.
6. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between pieces for proper roasting.
7. Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley if desired and serve hot over cooked rice with the pan juices spooned on top.
Notes
Chicken thighs will be juicier while chicken breasts offer a leaner option.
Fresh pineapple adds the best flavor but canned pineapple works well if drained.
For extra caramelization broil the sheet pan for the final 2–3 minutes of cooking.
You can add vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or zucchini for additional color and nutrition.
