Ingredients
  

Sheet Pan Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs (680g) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups (330g) Fresh Pineapple Chunks approx. 1/2 a large pineapple
  • 1 large (150g) Red Bell Pepper thickly sliced
  • 1 large (150g) Green Bell Pepper thickly sliced
  • 1 medium (110g) Red Onion cut into thick wedges
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Teriyaki Sauce thick, mahogany colored
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) Avocado Oil or other high-smoke point oil
  • 1/2 tsp (3g) Kosher Salt
  • 3 stems Green Scallions thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp (9g) White Sesame Seeds

Equipment

  • 1 Rimmed Baking Sheet (Half Sheet) Preferably weathered silver metal
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Small saucepan For reducing the glaze

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and ensure your weathered silver sheet pan is clean and dry.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed chicken, pineapple, peppers, and onions with avocado oil and half of the teriyaki glaze until glistening.
Roasting
  1. Spread the mixture onto the sheet pan in a single layer, ensuring pieces have space to sear and char.
  2. Roast for 15 minutes, then brush with the remaining glaze. Continue roasting for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is seared and peppers are blistered.
Finishing
  1. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with fresh scallions and sesame seeds while the mahogany glaze is still hot.

Notes

Use fresh pineapple for the best caramelization results.
Don't skip the high heat; 425°F is the secret to blistered vegetables without overcooked chicken.
