  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or drained canned pineapple
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice to make the marinade.
  2. Place chicken in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour marinade over, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice peppers and drain pineapple if using canned.
  4. Spread peppers and pineapple on a large sheet pan, creating space for chicken.
  5. Remove chicken from marinade and arrange on the sheet pan among the vegetables. Drizzle remaining marinade over everything.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature. Broil for 2-3 minutes if desired for charred edges.

Notes

  • Fresh pineapple enhances flavor; canned works for convenience.
  • Adjust honey or brown sugar for sweetness preference.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds for added flavor.
  • Ensure even spacing of ingredients on the sheet pan for even cooking.
