  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro or green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper; set aside. Slice vegetables and pineapple for easy assembly.
  2. Marinate chicken in half of the sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease. Arrange marinated chicken, pineapple, and sliced vegetables on the sheet. Drizzle remaining marinade over all.
  4. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and vegetables are tender. Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for caramelization if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple for the best flavor, but canned works well too.
  • Ensure chicken pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
  • You can substitute chicken with shrimp or tofu for variety.
  • Serve with rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
