Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve 2 tablespoons juice)
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon sesame oil for drizzling
  • Optional Garnish: Sesame seeds and chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the reserved pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. This is your Hawaiian glaze.
  3. Place the cut chicken, bell peppers, and red onion wedges onto the prepared sheet pan. Distribute the ingredients in a single layer.
  4. Pour about two-thirds of the Hawaiian glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Toss everything gently on the pan until evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the chicken and vegetables in a single layer again. Add the drained pineapple chunks to the pan, scattering them among the chicken and peppers.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove the pan from the oven. Brush the remaining one-third of the glaze over the chicken and pineapple.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the glaze is slightly caramelized.
  9. Remove from the oven. If using, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions before serving. Serve this easy chicken dinner immediately.

Notes

  • For a Whole30 or Paleo version, substitute the soy sauce with coconut aminos and use a sugar-free sweetener in place of brown sugar.
  • You can substitute the bell peppers with broccoli florets or zucchini, but adjust the cooking time slightly as denser vegetables may need a few extra minutes.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
