Equipment

  • 1 large sheet pan
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 knife and cutting board
  • 1 aluminum foil (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, sesame oil, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  • Place the chicken thighs in the bowl with the marinade and let them soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.
  • On a large sheet pan, arrange the broccoli, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks. Drizzle a little olive oil, salt, and pepper over the vegetables and toss to coat them lightly.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and place it on the sheet pan among the vegetables. Pour the remaining marinade over everything on the sheet pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  • Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables warm, enjoying the vibrant flavors of Hawaiian cuisine.

Notes
