  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped cilantro, sesame seeds, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. This marinade infuses the chicken with tropical sweetness and savory depth.
  2. Place chicken pieces in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal or cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  4. Remove marinated chicken from the fridge. Arrange the chicken on the prepared sheet pan and surround with pineapple chunks, sliced bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with remaining marinade.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender. For extra crispiness, broil for 2-3 minutes.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, sprinkle toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for juicier meat.
  • Feel free to add zucchini or snap peas for variation.
  • Make it gluten-free using tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
  • Best served immediately but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
