This recipe gives you all the flavors you love from takeout but with way fewer calories and less sugar. Thanks to the addition of vibrant red onions, crunchy bell peppers, and chunks of juicy pineapple, you’ll get a boost of vitamins and antioxidants in every bite. The pineapple, added just before cooking, caramelizes perfectly in the oven, balancing the savory and sweet flavors beautifully.

This dish isn’t just better for you—it’s incredibly easy to whip up (I’d even say it’s easier than ordering takeout!). I love one-sheet recipes, especially when they come with simple, saucy shortcuts that pack in tons of flavor. Everything cooks on a single sheet pan, making cleanup a breeze. It’s the perfect solution for busy weeknights when you want a quick, nutritious meal without the hassle!

If you love a good takeout-fakeout recipe, definitely check out my Cauliflower “Fried” Rice, Egg Roll Bowls, and Cold Sesame Noodles—they’re just as tasty, but better for you!

The combination of lean protein and fresh veggies in this recipe ensures you’re serving up a meal that’s both satisfying and nourishing. Whether you’re prepping for family dinner or entertaining friends, this vibrant dish is sure to impress!

P.S. If you’re a spice lover, simply add 1 tablespoon of sriracha into the marinade and teriyaki glaze.

Ingredients
 

  • 1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into ½-inch slices
  • ½ cup teriyaki sauce*
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • Sliced scallions, optional for garnish

Teriyaki glaze

  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce*
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
Ingredient Details to Know
*Opt for reduced-sodium if available.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 420°. Mist a baking sheet with nonstick oil spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine chicken, bell pepper and onion (do not add the pineapple yet, as it can make the chicken mushy). Add teriyaki sauce and honey, and toss so everything is well combined. Let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes, if time allows (no worries if you don’t have time to marinate).
  • Spread mixture evenly on prepared baking sheet in one layer, adding pineapples and tossing gently to combine. Cook in oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165℉, and the vegetables start to caramelize.

To make teriyaki glaze:

  • In a small microwave-safe bowl or mug, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons water and stir until the cornstarch is completely dissolved. Mix in ¼ cup teriyaki sauce and 1 tablespoon honey until you reach a smooth consistency.
  • Microwave for 1 minute until the sauce is thick and bubbly (if it’s not thick enough, microwave for an additional minute, stopping and stirring every 20 seconds to check on consistency). Drizzle over finished chicken. Garnish with optional scallions and fresh parsley.
  • Serve over brown rice, quinoa or veggie rice (such as cauliflower rice), or quinoa. You can also create yummy wraps using large lettuce leaves or tortillas.

Notes

Ingredient substitutes
• You can use fresh pineapple; frozen pineapple, thawed and drained well; or canned pineapple chunks (the largest chunks you can find), well drained of the juice.  
• You can substitute mango or papaya for the pineapple. These have a similar tropical sweetness and can provide a fresh burst of flavor. You can also swap in peaches or nectarines. These aren’t tropical fruits, but they do offer a similar sweetness and texture.
