Instructions
Creating the Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ground ginger, salt, and pepper until well combined.
3. Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a large resealable bag or a bowl. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated. Seal the bag or cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
4. Prepare the Vegetables: While the chicken marinates, chop the bell pepper, onion, and pineapple if not already prepped.
5. Combine Ingredients: On a large sheet pan, arrange the marinated chicken, bell pepper, onion, and pineapple chunks. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the top, ensuring all the ingredients are covered.
6. Bake the Dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Baste (Optional): Halfway through baking, you may want to baste the chicken with the sauce from the pan for extra flavor.
8. Garnish: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top if desired.
9. Serve Over Rice: Serve the Hawaiian Chicken and vegetables over cooked rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
By following these simple steps, you’ll create a feast that fulfills both your hunger and your love for vibrant flavors.
