Notes
Tips for Success: Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to ensure roasting instead of steaming; use two pans if needed. Thinly slice chicken evenly for consistent cooking. Pat chicken dry before adding sauce for better browning. You can prep veggies and chicken a day ahead, or marinate chicken, pineapple, and veggies in sauce for up to 4 hours. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven (350°F/175°C). Freezing is possible for 2-3 months, but vegetable texture may soften upon thawing.
Substitutions & Additions: Feel free to use other vegetables like broccoli, zucchini, or carrots. Chicken thighs or shrimp are good protein alternatives. Add red pepper flakes or Sriracha for spice. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, or cilantro. Try a soy-ginger or pineapple BBQ sauce instead of teriyaki.
