Ingredients

For the Chicken & Veggies:

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped

  • 1 red onion, chopped

  • 1 1/2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if using canned)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For the Hawaiian Sauce:

 

  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice

  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

  • 2 tablespoons honey

  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)

  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)

  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes for heat


Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

  • Prepare Sauce:
    In a small saucepan, whisk together all sauce ingredients. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly until thickened (about 3–5 minutes). Set aside.

  • Assemble Sheet Pan:
    Place chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly.

  • Add Sauce:
    Pour about ¾ of the sauce over the chicken and veggies. Toss again to coat everything evenly.

  • Bake:
    Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and veggies are tender.

 

  • Finish and Serve:
    Drizzle with remaining sauce before serving. Garnish with green onions or sesame seeds if you like. Serve over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.


Notes

  • For extra char, broil the sheet pan for the last 2–3 minutes.

  • Swap chicken for shrimp or tofu for a different protein.

 

  • Leftovers make a great meal prep option—store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
