Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1 to 1.5 inch pieces Thighs are juicier than breasts, providing a more flavorful experience.
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks, fresh or canned, drained and patted dry Pineapple caramelizes beautifully in the oven.
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into strips Adds both crunch and color.
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into strips Adds both crunch and color.
  • 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges Enhances the dish's visual appeal.
Marinade Ingredients
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce, low-sodium recommended Keep the dish from becoming overly salty.
  • 2 tbsp honey Adds sweetness.
  • 1 tbsp olive oil For moisture.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper Add more to taste if desired.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a half sheet pan (approximately 13×18 inches) with parchment paper or aluminum foil for fuss-free cleanup.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, tossing until they are evenly coated. Allow them to marinate for about 10 minutes at room temperature while you prepare the vegetables.
  4. Spread the marinated chicken, bell peppers, pineapple chunks, and red onion in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
Cooking
  1. Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the pineapple edges turn golden brown.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the dish rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Serve it warm over jasmine rice or with a fresh side salad.

Notes

For best results, consider marinating for up to an hour. If using more ingredients, it's better to use two pans to ensure even cooking.
