Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple is where weeknight, one-pan meal, ease meets scrumptious and healthy dinner! Naturally sweetened, packed with flavor, and full of nutritious ingredients. The whole family will love this dinner!

I took to Instagram and my weekly newsletter recently to ask what kinds of recipes you all want for the fall…..

The overwhelming response? Easy dinners, Instant Pot, few ingredients, and sheet pan recipes. Oh yes, I think we can manage some of those! I like to think my specialty involves giving you all the tastiest dinners, but still have a life and raise a family on top of it.

So let’s get started with this simple Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken with Pineapple.

This is one of those recipes were summer pineapple, meets bell pepper, red onion, a simple marinade, and some bite sized chicken for a delicious meal. Topped with some sesame seeds and fresh cilantro. Best part?

All made in less than 30 minutes and in one pan!

The husband and I have decided that another round of Whole30 is in order. Although travel plans have thwarted our start date, I am already in full blown planning mode. I’m also trying to do as much Whole30 centered dinners as possible to get us ready. I find that it makes things much easier when doing the entire 30 day transition!

This Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken is definitely going to be on repeat! I love the simplicity, flavor, and versatility of all using this dinner for meal prep on weekends to last us throughout the week for lunches or busy weeknights.

Serve over rice or cauliflower rice, and be sure to top with extra cilantro and green onion!

    This looks amazing! I’m so excited to try it out because it looks like something my little ones will love as well. I have tagged so many of your Instagram recipes and I’m excited to get started on them. I just need to go stock up on the various flours! :o)

    looks great! what is arrowroot starch and can I find it? Can I substitute anything else?

      Arrowroot is a thickening agent (like cornstarch), and can be found in most grocery stores near the health food section with flour alternatives. You can also use tapioca starch or flour!

        Is cornstarch a suitable substitute for Arrowroot starch?

    What’s you recommendation about how to make fresh pineapple juice?

      I juice a pineapple through my juicer. You can also use a lemon squeezer to juice, or run pineapple pieces through a blender or food processor.

    I haven’t tried the completed dish just yet as it’s still in the oven…but OMG!! THIS US THE BEST TERIYAKI SAUCE I have EVER made!! 10 times better than the store bought crud! I will be saving this sauce recipe, sharing this page with friends and using as a staple in my house from now on. AMAZING!! PS I only doubled the sauce recipe to have extras…no other alterations. Thanks so much!!!

    Can I ask what I’m supposed to do with the few tablespoons of the sauce I saved from the baking part of the process? Just top on the finished dish?

      Yes, spoon it over the finished dish. Sorry that wasn’t clear!

        Still not clear, Amy. The recipe directions say to include the pineapple juice in the liquid sauce. How many table spoonsful out of the three goes in that and how many are to be used for when the cooked dish is out of the oven? Seems like three spoonsful would be required for the latter, leaving none for the sauce.
        Also, this dish seems to be a good one for a pan on the stovetop instead of using the oven. Comment?

          Hi David, all 3 tablespoons of pineapple juice goes in the liquid sauce. It is not divided. After the sauce is made, reserve some for pouring over the finished dish. I hope that clears it up. Also, you can make this on the stovetop as well. It just requires more stirring, cooking, and standing by the stove to prepare. The sheet pan is used to give a more hands off recipe that you can put in the oven and walk away.

    Would this work with canned pineapple when fresh isn’t available?

    We love this recipe! It is a family favorite – we eat it at least every other week. It is a very easy weeknight dinner. I double the sauce, add 2 cups of broccoli to the sheet pan and serve it with cauliflower rice. Highly recommend!
