Description
A flavorful and easy-to-make Hawaiian Chicken Sheet dish that combines tender chicken thighs with sweet pineapple and colorful bell peppers, perfect for a family dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, ground ginger, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator for more flavor.
- On a large baking sheet, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in a single layer. Scatter the pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion slices around the chicken.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top of the chicken and vegetables.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to caramelize the top.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Notes
- For a tropical twist, serve with coconut rice or quinoa.
- You can substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts for a leaner option.
- For added heat, include sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes in the marinade.
