Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil to create the marinade.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let it sit while you prepare the vegetables.
  4. In a separate bowl, toss the pineapple chunks, red and green bell peppers, and red onion with the remaining half of the marinade.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Scatter the marinated vegetables and pineapple around the chicken.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  7. If you want a little extra color, you can briefly switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from the oven. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but adjust cooking time slightly to prevent drying out.
  • Make sure your pineapple chunks are not overly juicy to keep the sheet pan from getting too wet.
  • For an extra spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
