Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional)
Sauce Ingredients
  • 0.33 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup pineapple juice (from can or fresh)
  • 3 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (optional for thickening)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Spread the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and optional chili flakes. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C internal temp).
  2. While baking, whisk soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. If you want a thicker sauce, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy.
  3. Once the chicken and veggies are cooked, drizzle the sauce over the top or serve on the side for dipping.
Serving
  1. Serve the Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan hot, straight from the oven. It’s perfect on its own or served with steamed rice or quinoa.

Notes

Let the dish cool completely before storing leftovers in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Adjust sweetness of the sauce to preference.
