Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Vegetables and Fruits:
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 medium red onion, sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup fresh pineapple, diced (or 1 can, drained)
Seasonings and Sauces:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a light olive oil coating to prevent sticking.
- Massage chicken breasts with olive oil, then generously coat with a blend of garlic powder, onion powder, ground ginger, paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a flavorful base.
- Strategically distribute sliced red and yellow bell peppers, chopped red onion, and zucchini across the sheet pan, creating a colorful vegetable landscape around the seasoned chicken.
- Scatter fresh diced pineapple chunks over the chicken, allowing the tropical fruit to infuse moisture and sweetness during roasting.
- Create a harmonious glaze by whisking soy sauce and honey together, then drizzle the mixture evenly across the chicken and vegetable arrangement to enhance overall flavor profile.
- Roast the sheet pan in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, ensuring the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables become tender and slightly caramelized.
- After removing from the oven, let the chicken rest briefly to redistribute internal juices, then sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro over the dish for a vibrant finish.
- Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side, allowing diners to add a zesty citrus accent to this Hawaiian-inspired feast.
Notes
- Swap protein options easily by using tofu, shrimp, or salmon for a versatile meal that adapts to different dietary preferences.
- Reduce sodium content by choosing low-sodium soy sauce and controlling salt quantities during seasoning.
- Enhance tropical flavors by marinating chicken for 30 minutes before cooking to deepen the taste profile and increase tenderness.
- Create a meal prep-friendly version by cutting vegetables and chicken in advance, storing separately, and assembling quickly before roasting.
