Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 large red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion cut into 1-inch wedges
Homemade Glaze
  • 0.5 cup soy sauce or tamari for GF
  • 0.25 cup pineapple juice unsweetened
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
Garnish
  • 2 green onions sliced
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds

Equipment

  • Large rimmed baking sheet (13x18 inch)
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Tongs or spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large (13x18 inch) rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic until the sugar dissolves.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken thighs, fresh pineapple chunks, red bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges.
  4. Pour the glaze over the chicken and vegetable mixture and toss to coat every piece evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single, even layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Toss the ingredients with tongs and return to the oven.
  7. Continue roasting for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F/74°C) and the glaze has reduced.
  8. Garnish immediately with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds. Serve hot, optionally over steamed rice.

Notes

For chicken breast substitute, reduce cook time slightly. Fresh pineapple is highly recommended.
