  • Total Time: 40-50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 fresh pineapple, sliced into rings or chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Pour half of the marinade into a resealable bag or dish, add the chicken, and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mats. Arrange the marinated chicken, pineapple slices, peppers, and onions evenly on the tray.
  3. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. During the last 5 minutes, broil for slight charring if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor infusion.
  • You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts for extra juiciness.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce or coconut aminos to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
