Description
A simple and delicious sheet pan meal featuring chicken, peppers, onions, and pineapple in a sweet and savory Hawaiian sauce.
Ingredients
1 ½ lbs chicken breasts, cut into 1½ inch cubes
1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 orange or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
½ large red onion, cut into strips
1 cup diced pineapple, fresh or canned
⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Tablespoons pineapple juice
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with foil.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, bell pepper strips, and onion strips.
- Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together the low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, pineapple juice, cornstarch, olive oil, ginger, garlic, and crushed red pepper to create the sauce.
- Step 4: Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture, stirring to coat. Set aside the remaining half of the sauce in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Step 5: Spread the coated chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Step 6: Bake for 20 minutes.
- Step 7: Remove the pan from the oven, add the diced pineapple, and return to the oven to bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches 165°F.
- Step 8: While the chicken finishes cooking, heat the reserved sauce in the microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, or until it has thickened.
- Step 9: Drizzle the thickened sauce over the finished chicken and vegetables on the sheet pan.
- Step 10: Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley if desired and serve immediately, either plain or over cooked rice.
