Ingredients to make Pineapple Chicken –
- boneless chicken breasts – or chicken thighs
- red bell pepper
- pineapple chunks – fresh, frozen (thawed) or canned
- BBQ sauce – whatever you love
- Soy sauce
- brown sugar
- green onion for garnish
First dice up your chicken into about 1 inch pieces. In a medium bowl mix up your bbq sauce, soy sauce and brown sugar. Add in the chicken and set aside letting it marinade while you prep the veggies. NOTE: You can marinade the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. Longer it hangs in the sauce the better it gets!
While the chicken hangs out for a bit, cut the bell pepper in to a large dice, about 1/2 inch pieces. Drain the pineapple if using canned. Your almost done!
Line a large baking sheet with parchement or aluminum foil for easy clean up. Sprinkle on the chicken pieces and add the diced pepper and pineapple.
In the oven it goes! That’s it, you just made dinner and everybody loves you!
PRO- TIP! Use our Oven Baked Rice recipe and cook it along side the Pineapple Chicken. Talk about an easy meal!
Variations and additions –
- Add all the veggies! – broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, peas, small diced carrots, onion…the list goes on and on. Clean out the fridge!
- Swap chicken pieces for medium size shrimp. (shrimp cooks up quickly, give the veggies a 10 minute head start then bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until shrimp is cooked through).
