Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken breast, diced
- 1 large bell pepper, chopped
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment or lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
3. Add the diced chicken to the bowl and toss until all pieces are well coated. Let the chicken marinate for about 15–30 minutes.
4. Chop the bell pepper and red onion into bite-sized pieces and prepare the pineapple chunks if using fresh.
5. Spread the marinated chicken, chopped vegetables, and pineapple evenly on the sheet pan in a single layer.
6. Roast in the oven for 25–30 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
7. Remove from the oven and allow the pan to rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve warm on its own or over steamed rice, quinoa, or in lettuce wraps.
Notes
For extra sweetness, add 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup to the marinade.
You can swap or add vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or snap peas.
Fresh pineapple gives the best flavor, but canned pineapple in juice works well too.
If doubling the recipe, use two sheet pans and rotate them halfway through roasting.
Leftovers are great in wraps, tacos, or quick stir-fries the next day.
Use gluten-free soy sauce if you need a gluten-free version of the dish.
