Sheet Pan Hawaiian Chicken Easy and Flavorful Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 thighs boneless, skinless chicken
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 whole bell pepper (red or yellow), sliced
- 1 whole red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- to taste salt and pepper
- for garnish green onions and sesame seeds
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and coat well with the marinade. Let it sit for about 15 minutes for maximum flavor.
- Meanwhile, prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the sheet pan. On the other side, add the sliced bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple chunks.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the vegetables. Season everything with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
- For a caramelized finish, you can broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
