Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1 pound Chicken Thighs Main protein source; can substitute with chicken breasts but reduce cooking time.
For the Glaze
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Key ingredient in the glaze; can substitute with gluten-free tamari.
  • 1/4 cup Pineapple Juice Enhances the glaze's sweetness; use juice from canned pineapple or fresh.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Brown Sugar Sweetener for the glaze; adjust quantity based on desired sweetness.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Adds aromatics and depth of flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar Adds acidity to balance flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon Cornstarch (optional) Used for thickening the sauce if desired; make a slurry with water.
For the Veggies
  • 1 cup Pineapple Chunks Adds sweetness; fresh is ideal, but canned works well if drained properly.
  • 2 medium Bell Peppers (Red & Yellow) Contributes color and natural sweetness; cut into strips.
  • 1 medium Red Onion Provides mild sharpness when roasted.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Essential for roasting.

Equipment

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, minced garlic, and vinegar. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry and marinate them in half of the prepared sauce for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Arrange marinated chicken on the sheet pan and surround with pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. In the last 10 minutes, brush remaining sauce over the chicken.
  7. Remove from oven, let rest briefly, and serve sprinkled with sesame seeds or green onions.
