Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for simple cleanup.
- Grab a medium bowl and whisk ¼ cup coconut aminos, 2 tablespoons pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, salt, and pepper into a smooth marinade.
- Pour half the marinade over 1.5 lbs chicken chunks and let them soak while preparing vegetables.
- Slice 1 red bell pepper, 1 green bell pepper, and ½ red onion into thin strips.
- Scatter marinated chicken, 2 cups pineapple chunks, peppers, and onions across the sheet pan.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons avocado oil over everything and toss to ensure even coating.
- Spread ingredients into a single layer so each piece roasts evenly.
- Roast at 425°F for 22 minutes, rotating pan halfway through cooking time.
- For extra caramelization, broil on high for 2-3 minutes until chicken edges look crispy.
- Remove pan from oven and drizzle remaining marinade across the dish.
- Sprinkle optional garnishes like sliced green onions or sesame seeds before serving hot.
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to enhance flavor absorption and tenderness.
- Choose colorful bell peppers for a vibrant presentation and varied taste profile.
- For a gluten-free version, swap coconut aminos with tamari or low-sodium soy sauce.
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F to guarantee safe cooking and juicy meat.
