  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped cilantro, sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and olive oil. Pour half of this marinade over the chicken pieces and let sit for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Place the marinated chicken on the prepared sheet pan. Surround with pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion slices. Drizzle remaining marinade over everything and season with salt and pepper.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for a charred effect if desired.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes, or up to an hour for extra flavor.
  • Use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant flavor, or canned for convenience.
  • Serve with steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds for added presentation.
