Scale
Protein
- 4 chicken thighs
Marinade
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup pineapple juice
Fruits
- 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnishing)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, garlic, and pineapple juice. This flavorful marinade will infuse the chicken with deliciousness. Set aside some marinade for basting later, and toss the chicken thighs in the remainder to coat well.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). A hot oven will ensure that your chicken crisps up nicely while roasting.
- Arrange the Ingredients: On a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper, spread out the marinated chicken thighs, bell peppers, sliced onions, and pineapple chunks. Make sure everything is in a single layer for even cooking!
- Bake the Dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Halfway through, brush the chicken with the reserved marinade to keep it moist and flavorful.
- Garnish and Serve: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven, sprinkle with chopped green onions, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Your Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan is now ready to be devoured!
Notes
- Marinate overnight for even deeper flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is perfectly cooked.
- Consider doubling the recipe if you’re feeding a crowd.
- Feel free to play with spices in the marinade to find your uniquely delicious combination.
- Cooking times can vary based on your oven and the thickness of the chicken.
