A delicious and easy recipe for Sheet Pan Hawaiian Chicken, featuring marinated chicken thighs, fresh pineapple, and colorful bell peppers, all baked together for a flavorful meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
- 1/4 cup honey or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil (or olive oil)
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or chicken breasts)
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (can use canned if necessary)
- 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 piece green bell pepper, sliced
- to taste salt and pepper
- Green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil to prepare the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 10 minutes while you prepare the veggies.
- On a large baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, and sliced bell peppers. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top and toss to mix.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving. Top with green onions and sesame seeds for garnish.
Notes
- For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- Feel free to substitute chicken breasts for thighs if preferred.
- Adjust the amount of honey or brown sugar based on your sweetness preference.
