Description
A delicious and easy Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan recipe perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 bell pepper, sliced (red or green)
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Chopped green onions, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ground ginger, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Whisk until well mixed.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the prepared baking sheet. On the other side, spread out the pineapple chunks, bell pepper slices, and red onion slices.
- 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 (75°C).
- If desired, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the edges of the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve the chicken and vegetables over cooked rice, garnished with chopped green onions.
- Adjust seasoning with additional black pepper if needed before serving.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, add sliced jalapeños for heat or sprinkle with sesame seeds before serving.
- Substitute chicken thighs with chicken breasts or tofu for a lighter option. Adjust cooking time as needed for different proteins.
- If you have a soy allergy, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
