Description
A quick and delicious Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner featuring marinated chicken thighs, colorful bell peppers, and pineapple, all baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
- On the prepared baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in the center. Surround them with the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to get a nice caramelization on the chicken and vegetables.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, try adding a splash of lime juice before serving.
- You can substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- For a vegetarian version, replace the chicken with firm tofu and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
