This super fast teriyaki chicken sheet pan dinner is loaded with veggies and is easy and tastes super delicious!

Ingredients:

• 2 small-medium yellow or zucchini squash, about 12 ounces, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1/2 to 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 medium head of broccoli, about 12 ounces, stem trimmed, and florets cut into 1-inch pieces or so
• 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into about 1/2-inch strips
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup pineapple juice
• 1/3 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium)
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (can sub white vinegar)
• 1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press
• 1 to 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Place the chopped veggies and chicken strips evenly across the bottom of a large sheet pan (about 11X18-inches or so).

In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, pineapple juice, soy sauce, molasses, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic and ginger. Pour the mixture over the chicken and veggies.

Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are coated with the sauce. Arrange the ingredients in an even layer again making sure the chicken pieces aren’t overlapping each other.

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the vegetables are sizzling and crisp-tender and the chicken is cooked through, increase time as needed. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if needed!

Serve immediately over hot, cooked rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice or on it’s own.

If you want a saucier end result, you might consider doubling the sauce. I like to only pour half of the sauce over the sheet pan ingredients and cook like the recipe says and then take the other half of the sauce, stir in 2-3 teaspoons cornstarch and bring to a simmer on the stove to thicken and use the extra sauce for serving.
