Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 Chicken thighs
Vegetables
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 2 Bell peppers (mixed colors)
- 1 Red onion
Marinade
- 1/4 cup Teriyaki sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garnish
- 2 Green onions (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your chicken and vegetables bake evenly and come out perfectly cooked.
- Prepare the Chicken and Marinade: In a bowl, combine chicken thighs with teriyaki sauce, minced garlic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes for optimal flavor absorption.
- Chop the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell peppers and red onion into bite-sized pieces. If using fresh pineapple, cut it into chunks as well.
- Arrange on the Sheet Pan: On a large sheet pan, arrange the marinated chicken thighs in the center and surround them with the chopped vegetables and pineapple chunks. Spread everything out for even cooking.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the veggies are tender.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy the colorful and aromatic feast!
Notes
- Use skin-on chicken for extra flavor and moisture.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting.
- Marinate chicken longer for a more intense flavor.
- Mix and match seasonal vegetables for freshness.
- Check doneness using a meat thermometer.
