Ingredients
- For the Chicken & Marinade:
- 2 lbs chicken breast, diced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- For the Sheet Pan:
- 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
- Optional Garnishes:

- Extra lime wedges
Instructions
1. Prep the Ingredients
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Dice the chicken, pineapple, and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
2. Marinate the Chicken
In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, lime juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss in the diced chicken and let marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor).
3. Assemble the Sheet Pan
Spread the marinated chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper, and onion evenly on a large sheet pan.
4. Roast to Perfection
Bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are caramelized.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, or an extra squeeze of lime. Serve over rice, quinoa, or with a side of roasted vegetables.
