Equipment

Method
 

Prep and marinade
  1. Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with foil.
  2. Whisk soy sauce, honey, pineapple juice, garlic, ginger, and sesame oil together until smooth.
  3. Toss chicken thighs and pineapple chunks with 3/4 of the marinade, reserving the rest for later.
Roast the sheet pan dinner
  1. Spread the chicken on the sheet pan and scatter bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple around it.
  2. Roast for 22–25 minutes at 425°F, brushing with the reserved marinade halfway through until chicken is cooked and caramelized.
Finish
  1. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds and serve over rice.

Notes

For the best caramelized edges, spread everything in a single layer with cut sides facing the pan, and don’t overcrowd the sheet pan. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat until hot in a 350°F oven or microwave. Freezing is not recommended because pineapple can soften after thawing. If you want a lower-sugar option, use a sugar-free honey alternative in the marinade (or reduce honey slightly) while keeping the rest of the ratios the same.
