A colorful and flavorful sheet pan Hawaiian chicken recipe with juicy pineapple, bell peppers, and a sticky-sweet garlic soy glaze — all roasted to perfection in just one pan.
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
2–3 bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), sliced
1 red onion, sliced (optional)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
¼ cup pineapple juice
2 tbsp brown sugar or honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
1 tbsp rice vinegar
Optional: 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (for glaze)
Optional: green onions, sesame seeds for garnish
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and rice vinegar. Set aside half for glaze.
Marinate chicken in remaining sauce for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment or foil.
Spread chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onion on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil.
Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Simmer reserved sauce in a small pot. Add cornstarch slurry if using and cook until thickened.
Drizzle glaze over cooked chicken and veggies. Garnish and serve.
Marinate chicken overnight for deeper flavor.
Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra caramelization.
Serve with rice, noodles, or roasted veggies.
