Ingredients
-
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 teaspoon garlic powder
-
1 teaspoon onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
-
1 red bell pepper, sliced
-
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
-
1/2 red onion, sliced
-
1 zucchini, sliced
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar (optional for extra sweetness)
-
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
-
Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chicken breasts to coat them evenly.
-
Place the chicken breasts in the center of the sheet pan.
-
Surround the chicken with the sliced bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and pineapple chunks.
-
In a separate bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and brown sugar (if using) to make the sauce. Drizzle this sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the vegetables are tender.
-
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
-
Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
-
You can swap the chicken breasts for thighs if you prefer darker meat.
-
For extra sweetness, feel free to add more honey or brown sugar to the sauce.
-
If you don’t have a sheet pan, this recipe can also be made in a large baking dish.
