Ingredients
1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, thick-sliced
1/3 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
3 cups cooked jasmine rice (for serving)
Instructions
1. Whisk soy sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger together.
2. Toss the chicken thighs in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment.
4. Spread chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onion evenly across the pan.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and caramelized.
6. Broil for 2-3 minutes to crisp the edges.
7. Serve hot over jasmine rice with pan juices drizzled on top.
Notes
Use thighs, not breasts, for juicier results.
Fresh pineapple is key for caramelization—skip the canned stuff.
Broil briefly for crispy charred edges but watch it closely!
