Scale
Main Proteins:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Fruits and Vegetables:
- 1 cup pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 red onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasonings and Liquids:
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Serving:
- Cooked rice
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 400F (200C) and lightly coat a large sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Create a vibrant marinade by combining soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, ground ginger, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl, whisking until smooth and well-integrated.
- Strategically position chicken breasts in the center of the prepared sheet pan, surrounding them with colorful pineapple chunks, diced bell peppers, and red onion for maximum flavor distribution.
- Generously drizzle the marinade over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring every ingredient is thoroughly coated and infused with the Hawaiian-inspired seasoning.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 22-24 minutes, turning the chicken midway to guarantee even cooking and achieving a golden exterior with perfectly tender interior.
- Once chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F and vegetables are caramelized, remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow it to rest for 3-4 minutes.
- Plate the aromatic Hawaiian chicken and roasted vegetables atop a bed of fluffy steamed rice, creating a complete and satisfying meal.
- Garnish with optional fresh herbs like cilantro or green onions for an extra burst of freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safe consumption.
- Let chicken marinate in the sauce for 30 minutes before baking to enhance flavor penetration and tenderness.
- Swap bell peppers with zucchini or swap red onion with green onions for different flavor profiles and dietary preferences.
- Replace rice with cauliflower rice or serve over mixed greens for a lower-carbohydrate option that keeps the tropical vibe intact.
