A flavorful Hawaiian Chicken dish featuring marinated chicken and vibrant vegetables baked to perfection with a sweet and savory sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- ⅓ cup soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
- ½ cup pineapple juice fresh or canned
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar or honey
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger or ½ tsp ground ginger
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1”-2” pieces
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
- 1 red onion sliced into wedges
- 1 ½ cups pineapple chunks fresh or canned, drained if canned
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or to taste
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken (optional)
- 1 tablespoon water to thicken (optional)
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
- Additional pineapple for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients. Set aside ¼ cup to use later as a drizzle or glaze.
- Toss chicken pieces in the marinade and let it sit while prepping the veggies (or marinate up to 24 hours ahead).
- Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large sheet pan, toss bell peppers, onion, and pineapple with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Add marinated chicken and spread in a single layer.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and veggies are caramelized. Optional: Top with fresh pineapple the last 5 minutes of baking if desired.
- While the dish bakes, simmer the reserved ¼ cup marinade in a small saucepan. Add cornstarch and water slurry (if desired) and cook until thickened. Drizzle over cooked dish.
- Serve over steamed rice or coconut rice, garnished with green onions, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lime if you like.
Notes
- Marinating chicken for a longer time can enhance the flavor.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or carrots.
- Serve with a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
