Ingredients Needed

The Main Pan

• 1.5 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 cups Fresh pineapple chunks (fresh is best for roasting!)
• 1 Large red bell pepper (seeded and chopped)
• 1 Large green bell pepper (seeded and chopped)
• 1 Small red onion (cut into wedges)

The Healthy Hawaiian Glaze

• 1/4 cup Coconut aminos (or low-sodium soy sauce)
• 1 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
• Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

How to Make Our Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan

1. Preheat and prep. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to ensure nothing sticks and the cleanup is effortless.
2. Whisk the sauce. In a small bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. This glaze is the secret to getting that deep Hawaiian flavor without the high-sugar content of traditional teriyaki.
3. Arrange the ingredients. Place the cubed chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks directly onto the sheet pan. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure everything roasts evenly rather than steaming.
4. Coat and toss. Drizzle the prepared glaze over the chicken and vegetables. Toss thoroughly with your hands or tongs until every piece is lightly coated in the savory sauce.
5. Roast to perfection. Place the pan in the center rack of the oven. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the pineapple edges are starting to turn a beautiful golden-brown.
6. Garnish and serve. For an extra pop of flavor and crunch, sprinkle with sliced green onions or toasted sesame seeds before serving.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

Storing: Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. This is an excellent recipe for meal prep bowls. Reheating: To maintain the texture of the vegetables, reheat in a skillet over medium heat for 5 minutes or in the microwave for 90 seconds. Freezing: You can freeze the cooked meal for up to 2 months. However, be aware that the peppers may lose some of their crispness upon thawing. Serving Pairings: This is incredibly satisfying on its own, but for a heartier meal, serve it over a bed of cauliflower rice (to keep points low) or a half-cup of fluffy jasmine rice or quinoa.

Tips & FAQs

Can I use canned pineapple? While fresh pineapple roasts the best because of its firm texture, you can use canned pineapple chunks in a pinch. Make sure to choose the kind packed in 100% juice rather than heavy syrup to keep the recipe WW-friendly and low in added sugar.

How do I prevent the chicken from drying out? The key is the size of your chicken pieces. Ensure they are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes. If they are too small, they will overcook before the peppers are tender. Adding the pineapple also helps, as the juices release during roasting to keep the chicken moist.

Is this recipe spicy? As written, this is a mild, kid-friendly recipe. If you prefer a “Huli Huli” style kick, add a teaspoon of Sriracha or extra red pepper flakes to the glaze before roasting.

Can I make this with shrimp instead? Absolutely! If substituting with shrimp, roast the vegetables and pineapple for 10 minutes first, then add the shrimp for the final 5–7 minutes of cooking time so they don’t become rubbery.
