Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)

2 red bell peppers, sliced

1 green bell pepper, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt & black pepper to taste

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

For the Hawaiian Marinade

½ cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

¼ cup pineapple juice (from the can or fresh)

2 tbsp honey or brown sugar

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

1 tbsp rice vinegar

1 tbsp sesame oil

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, garlic, ginger, vinegar, and sesame oil. Set aside half of the marinade for drizzling later.

Step 2: Prep the Chicken

In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with the remaining marinade. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes (or overnight in the fridge for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Preheat & Prep Sheet Pan

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 4: Add Veggies & Pineapple

Spread the bell peppers, onions, and pineapple on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

Step 5: Add the Chicken

Place the marinated chicken evenly over the veggies.

Step 6: Bake

Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are slightly caramelized.

Step 7: Drizzle & Serve

Once out of the oven, drizzle with the reserved marinade. Serve hot over steamed rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
