Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 4–6 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on recommended)

Fresh Produce

  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Marinade

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari/coconut aminos for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup/brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. This mixture creates the sweet and savory base for the dish.
  2. Marinate the Chicken: Place chicken thighs in a large bowl or resealable bag and pour half of the marinade over them. Seal and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes up to 2 hours to infuse the flavors.
  3. Prepare the Vegetables and Pineapple: While the chicken marinates, chop bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple into bite-sized chunks. Toss these pieces with the remaining marinade to coat evenly.
  4. Arrange on the Sheet Pan: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the marinated vegetables, pineapple, and chicken thighs out on a large sheet pan in a single layer to ensure proper roasting.
  5. Roast to Perfection: Bake the sheet pan in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender. For additional browning, broil for 2-3 minutes if desired.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes to redistribute juices. Garnish as desired and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use bone-in chicken thighs for juicier, more flavorful meat.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; leave space between ingredients for even roasting and caramelization.
  • Pat chicken dry before marinating to help the marinade stick better and create flavorful skin.
  • Toss veggies and pineapple separately in marinade to prevent sogginess.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness as cooking times may vary depending on oven and chicken size.
