Sheet Pan Pineapple Chicken
Description
This recipe starts by tossing bite-sized pieces of chicken breast with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder, along with red bell pepper, red onion, broccoli florets, and drained pineapple chunks. These ingredients are spread in a single layer on a sheet pan to ensure even roasting at 400°F.
The dish bakes for about 15 to 18 minutes, until the chicken registers an internal temperature of 165°F, indicating it is fully cooked and juicy. After roasting, the chicken and vegetables are drizzled with teriyaki glaze and gently tossed to coat, infusing a sweet and savory finish. Chopped green onions added on top provide a fresh note.
Sheet Pan Pineapple Chicken can be served alone or alongside rice, cauliflower rice, or shredded cabbage, making it a complete and flavorful meal with minimal cleanup and prep.
The recipe’s simplicity relies on the quick roasting time and convenient combination of protein, vegetables, and sweet pineapple with teriyaki sauce to create a balanced dish.
