Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25–30 minutes
  • Total Time: 40–45 minutes
  • Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, well drained)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Cooked white or brown rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven
    Set oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  2. Mix the Hawaiian-style marinade
    In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using).

  3. Marinate the chicken
    Place chicken in a bowl or zip-top bag. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Let it sit for 15 minutes (or refrigerate up to 2 hours).

  4. Season and arrange the vegetables
    In a large bowl, toss bell peppers, red onion, broccoli, and pineapple with olive oil, plus salt and pepper. Spread everything evenly on the sheet pan.

  5. Add chicken to the sheet pan
    Place the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables. Discard the used marinade from the chicken.

  6. Roast
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

  7. Optional: broil for extra caramelization
    For lightly charred edges, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end—watch closely to prevent burning.

  8. Serve
    Drizzle the remaining (unused) marinade over the cooked chicken and vegetables. Serve as-is or over rice for a more filling meal.
