Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, quartered
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to prepare the marinade.
- Place chicken thighs in a large bowl, pour half the marinade over them, and toss to coat. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes or overnight.
- Cut pineapple into chunks, slice bell peppers into strips, and quarter the red onion. Toss them in a separate bowl with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange marinated chicken thighs on the sheet pan and scatter pineapple, bell peppers, and onions around them. Drizzle remaining marinade over everything.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping chicken and stirring veggies halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize pineapple and give chicken a golden color.
- Let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
