Ingredients
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 bell pepper (red, yellow, or green), chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
Optional Garnishes:
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Sliced green onions
- Sesame seeds
Instructions
- Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Arrange Ingredients on the Sheet Pan: Spread the marinated chicken pieces evenly on the baking sheet. Scatter the chopped bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple chunks around the chicken for even roasting.
- Bake the Dish: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh cilantro, green onions, and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot over rice or alongside your favorite side dishes.
Notes
- Protein Alternatives: Try shrimp, pork tenderloin, or tofu for a different variation.
- Make it Spicy: Add red pepper flakes or a drizzle of sriracha for extra heat.
- Storage Tips: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Gluten-Free Option: Use tamari or coconut aminos instead of soy sauce.
