Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 red onion, sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 tablespoons honey

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon ground ginger

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Chopped green onions (for garnish)

Cooked jasmine rice (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Marinate the Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ground ginger, black pepper, and salt. Whisk together until well blended. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are fully coated with the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator for enhanced flavor).

      Prepare the Vegetables: On a large sheet pan, spread out the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks. Drizzle with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated.

        Arrange the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade and place the thighs on top of the vegetable mixture on the sheet pan. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken for added flavor.

          Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.

            Garnish and Serve: Once out of the oven, sprinkle the dish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for added texture and freshness. Serve the Hawaiian chicken and vegetables over a bed of fluffy jasmine rice.

              Enjoy: Relish the delightful blend of tropical flavors mingling with savory chicken and colorful veggies. This dish is sure to transport you straight to the islands!
