Description
A delicious and easy Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner that combines tender chicken thighs with vibrant vegetables and sweet pineapple, all baked to perfection.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss until they are well coated with the seasoning mixture.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on one side of the prepared sheet pan. On the other side, add the pineapple chunks, sliced bell peppers, and sliced red onion.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and grated ginger. Drizzle half of this sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender. Halfway through cooking, drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken in the seasoning mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- You can substitute the chicken thighs with chicken breasts or tofu for a vegetarian option.
- For a spicy kick, add sliced jalapeños or a dash of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mix.
