Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Cooked white or brown rice, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the Marinade
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).
- Season the Chicken
- Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag. Pour half the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
- Prepare the Vegetables
- Toss the bell peppers, red onion, broccoli, and pineapple chunks with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly across the prepared sheet pan.
- Add Chicken to the Pan
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on top of the vegetables. Discard any leftover marinade.
- Bake
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.
- Broil for a Charred Finish (Optional)
- For extra caramelization, broil the sheet pan for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking.
- Serve
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the cooked chicken and vegetables before serving. Pair with rice for a complete meal.
