Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

A tropical-inspired, one-pan meal that’s perfect for busy weeknights. Sweet pineapple, savory chicken, and colorful vegetables come together in this simple and satisfying dinner.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup pineapple chunks, drained
  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • ½ cup chopped broccoli florets
  • ½ cup chopped red bell pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it for easier cleanup.

2. Make the Marinade

In a medium bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Add the sliced chicken and stir to coat well. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for deeper flavor).

3. Assemble the Sheet Pan

On the prepared sheet pan, arrange the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, chopped broccoli, and red bell pepper. Spread everything out in an even layer for even roasting. Add the cooked rice to one side or scatter it among the ingredients for a complete one-pan meal.

4. Bake

Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temp should reach 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.

5. Serve

Remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, either as-is or with a side salad or steamed veggies for a balanced plate.

Tips & Variations

  • Add More Heat: Sprinkle extra red pepper flakes before baking for a spicier kick.
  • Grain Swap: Substitute rice with quinoa, couscous, or cauliflower rice for a low-carb option.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: This recipe stores well—perfect for leftovers or lunch the next day.
  • Make It Crispier: Broil for the last 2–3 minutes if you want slightly charred edges on the veggies or pineapple.

This Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan is a vibrant, fuss-free dinner the whole family will love. With just one pan and minimal prep, it’s ideal for those craving something sweet, savory, and satisfying on a busy night.
