Ingredients

For the Chicken

1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs Tender and flavorful; chicken breasts can be a substitute with modified cooking time.
1/4 cup Soy Sauce or Coconut Aminos Opt for low-sodium to reduce salt intake.

For the Pineapple and Vegetables

1 cup Fresh or Canned Pineapple Chunks If canned, drain well to avoid a watery sauce.
1 cup Bell Peppers (Red & Yellow) Swappable with green peppers for a more peppery kick.
1 medium Red Onion Omit if you prefer a milder taste.

For the Glaze

3 cloves Garlic Feel free to use garlic powder as a quick alternative.
1 teaspoon Ginger Powdered ginger works as a substitute.
2 tablespoons Honey or Brown Sugar Maple syrup is a delightful alternative.
2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar Lemon juice can serve as another option.
1 tablespoon Cornstarch Use for thickening the glaze if a thicker consistency is desired.

For Roasting

2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for roasting, it helps caramelize the veggies.

Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or grease with olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set aside to let flavors meld.
Pat chicken thighs dry and marinate in half of the prepared sauce for at least 15 minutes.
Arrange marinated chicken on the sheet pan with pineapple chunks, sliced bell peppers, and red onion. Toss veggies with olive oil.
Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping chicken halfway. Brush with remaining sauce before finishing.
Optional: Switch to broil for 2-3 minutes for extra caramelization. Watch closely to avoid burning.
Remove from oven once chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Garnish with sesame seeds or green onions if desired.
