Vegetables:
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
Sauce and Additional Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) pineapple chunks, drained
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) teriyaki sauce
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Cooked rice for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400F (200C), ensuring a hot environment for roasting.
- Slice chicken breasts into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Chop pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onions into bite-sized segments.
- Transfer chicken and vegetables to a large mixing bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil and teriyaki sauce over the ingredients, mixing thoroughly to create a uniform coating.
- Arrange the marinated mixture in a single, spread-out layer on a sheet pan to promote proper caramelization.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper across the surface for enhanced flavor profile.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 22-24 minutes, checking that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.
- Verify chicken is fully cooked with golden edges and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3-4 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Optional: Serve over steamed white or brown rice for a complete tropical-inspired meal.
Notes
- Swap chicken breasts with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian version that maintains the tropical flavor profile.
- Cut vegetables and protein into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Use low-sodium teriyaki sauce to control salt intake and prevent overwhelming sweetness in the final meal.
- Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for extra heat if you enjoy spicier Hawaiian-inspired dishes.
