Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large chicken thighs, bone-in and skin-on (or skinless if preferred)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
- ¼ cup soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
- 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 cup carrots, sliced (about 2 medium carrots)
- 1 cup snap peas (green beans can substitute)
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Lime wedges for serving
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, and minced garlic until sugar is dissolved.
- Place chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish. Pour marinade over chicken and coat well. Seal or cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash and chop vegetables.
- Arrange marinated chicken skin-side up and vegetables on a large sheet pan. Drizzle any remaining marinade over vegetables.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- For crispier skin, broil on high for 2-3 minutes if desired.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure proper roasting.
- Marinate chicken no longer than 2 hours to avoid overly salty flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to check doneness for perfectly cooked chicken.
- Feel free to substitute vegetables based on season or preference.
- Add fresh pineapple slices during the last few minutes of roasting for extra flavor.
- For gluten-free option, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
