Ingredients

Scale

    Chicken:

  • 1 pound cubed boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Other Ingredients:

  • 20 ounce can of pineapple chunks (drain and reserve the juice)
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1/2 medium-large red onion
  • 1/2 cup bbq sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Cilantro to garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Optionally, line your sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone liner for easier cleanup later on.
  2. Prepare the ingredients: Chop the bell peppers and red onion into large 1.5-2 inch pieces. Cube the chicken thighs into 1-1.5 inch pieces.
  3. Coat the ingredients: Coat the onions and bell peppers with olive oil, season the chicken with salt and pepper, and combine the barbecue sauce with pineapple juice. Coat the chicken with most of the sauce.
  4. Arrange and bake: Place the peppers, onions, pineapple, and chicken on the sheet pan in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender. Optionally, broil for 3-8 minutes for caramelization.
  5. Serve: Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top before serving. Garnish with cilantro.

Notes

  • Ensure the sheet pan is not overcrowded to promote even cooking.
  • Adjust seasoning and sauce according to personal preference.
