Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper chopped
- 1 small red onion cut into wedges
- 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks or canned, drained
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes optional
- 0.33 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 0.25 cup pineapple juice from can or fresh
- 3 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons water for slurry, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- Arrange the chicken pieces, bell peppers, onion wedges, and pineapple chunks on the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
- Drizzle olive oil over all the ingredients and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and optional chili flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
- While the chicken is roasting, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer for 3-4 minutes.
- For a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook for about 1 minute until glossy.
- Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Drizzle the warm teriyaki sauce over the finished dish or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired before serving.
Notes
Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or snap peas for added color and flavor.
For a sweeter taste, increase the amount of honey or brown sugar in the sauce.
