Description
This Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan dinner combines savory garlic-ginger chicken with sweet pineapple and colorful roasted vegetables—all on one sheet pan for easy cleanup and vibrant flavor.
Ingredients
1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into chunks
1–1½ cups pineapple chunks (fresh or well-drained canned)
1–2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
1 red onion, sliced or wedged
2–3 tbsp olive oil or honey (for brushing)
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced (or ½ tbsp ground ginger)
2 tbsp soy sauce or tamari
1–2 tbsp honey or brown sugar
Juice of 1 lime (about 1 tbsp)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
Optional garnishes: sliced jalapeño, sesame seeds, chopped green onions or cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 °F (220 °C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil.
- Whisk garlic, ginger, soy sauce, honey (or brown sugar), lime juice, oil, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
- Toss chicken pieces in half the marinade and spread in a single layer on one side of the pan.
- Use the remaining marinade to toss pineapple, bell peppers, and onion, then arrange alongside the chicken—leaving space between pieces.
- Roast 20–25 minutes, flipping chicken and stirring veggies halfway to promote even caramelization.
- Check chicken for 165 °F (74 °C) internal temperature and ensure veggies are tender.
- Optionally broil 1–2 minutes for extra char on edges.
- Remove from oven, squeeze extra lime juice over everything, and garnish as desired.
- Serve immediately hot from the pan or plated with rice or grains.
Notes
Use olive oil or a quick honey-brush for a crisp glaze.
Add zucchini, broccoli, or snap peas for more veggie variety.
Swap teriyaki or sweet chili sauce for a different flavor profile.
Toss with lime zest or coconut milk after roasting to amplify tropical notes.
Serve leftovers over rice, quinoa, or rolled in tortillas with toppings for pineapple-chicken tacos.
