Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
• 1 ½ cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp paprika
• ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)
• ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
• ¼ cup pineapple juice
• 3 tbsp honey or brown sugar
• 2 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water slurry (optional)

Instructions

1

Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it lightly with oil.

2

Arrange the cut chicken breasts, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, red onion wedges, and pineapple pieces across the prepared pan.

3

Drizzle olive oil over the pan mixture, then season with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and optional chili flakes, tossing everything until thoroughly coated.

4

Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the ingredients halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

5

Prepare the sauce while baking by combining the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat.

6

Simmer the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring in the optional cornstarch slurry if a thicker, glossy texture is desired.

7

Remove the sheet pan from the oven and drizzle the sweet glaze over the top, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

8

Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds or chopped green onions before serving if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use canned pineapple for this sheet pan dinner? Yes, canned pineapple works great! Just make sure to drain the chunks thoroughly before putting them on the baking sheet so they caramelize well, and reserve ¼ cup of the juice for the sweet sauce mixture. How can I serve this Hawaiian chicken for meal prep? This recipe is perfect for assembling individual Hawaiian Bowls. Portion cooked jasmine rice or brown rice into airtight meal prep containers, top with the roasted chicken and veggies, and store the glaze separately until ready to heat and serve. How do I keep the chicken from drying out in the oven? Cutting the chicken into uniform 1-inch pieces ensures even cooking. Be sure not to overcook past 165°F (74°C) internal temperature, and flipping halfway through helps keep every piece juicy and tender.
