Sheet Pan with Hawaiian Chicken

Components:

1. Four skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts
2. One tablespoon of olive oil
3. Two teaspoons of powdered garlic
4. Two teaspoons of powdered onion
5. One teaspoon of paprika
6. Half a teaspoon of ground ginger
7. To taste, add salt and pepper.
8. One cup of drained pineapple pieces, either fresh or canned
9. One red bell pepper, one yellow bell pepper, one small red onion, one zucchini, one sliced, and one
10. tablespoon of soy sauce (or gluten-free tamari)
11. One spoonful of maple syrup or honey
12. One tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
13. Garnish with chopped cilantro or green onions, if desired.

Directions:

• Turn the oven on to 400°F, or 200°C.
• Get the chicken ready: Using paper towels, pat dry the chicken thighs or breasts. Add salt, pepper, paprika, ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, and olive oil on both sides.
• Get the veggies ready: Place the bell peppers, zucchini, onion, and pineapple chunks on a sheet pan. Season with salt and pepper and drizzle with a little olive oil.
• Prepare the sauce: Combine the vinegar, honey, and soy sauce in a small basin.
• Put the chicken in there: Nestle the seasoned chicken among the pineapple and vegetables on the sheet pan. Pour the sauce over the veggies and chicken.
• Preheat the sheet pan: The chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the veggies should be soft after about 25 to 30 minutes of baking in a preheated oven. For even cooking, you might wish to toss the vegetables halfway through.
• Serve: If preferred, garnish with green onions or fresh cilantro. Rice or your other side dish can be served alongside the Hawaiian chicken.

Advice:

• Before cooking, marinate the chicken in the sauce mixture for 30 to 60 minutes to add more flavor.
  For a little heat, add some chopped jalapeño or chili flakes.
  To increase the flavor and juiciness, use boneless chicken thighs.
