Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 4 servings

  • 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 1/2 cups brown rice
  • 12 ounces broccoli florets
  • 2 cups pineapple chunks
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided, plus black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 425°F with a rack in the upper third. Coat a large rimmed sheet pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.

  2. Combine 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar into a smooth sauce. Pat 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs dry, then season with half of 1 teaspoon kosher salt and black pepper. Toss 12 ounces broccoli florets and 2 cups pineapple chunks with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the remaining salt, and pepper on the pan. Add the seasoned main ingredient without crowding.

  3. Roast, turning the vegetables once, until the chicken reaches 165°F and the pineapple is caramelized. Spoon a little sauce over the main ingredient after it leaves the oven; rest meat or fish for 3 minutes when applicable.

  4. Cook 1 1/2 cups brown rice according to package directions. Keep warm, fluffing or separating it before serving. Divide the base among four plates, add the roasted main and vegetables, and spoon over the remaining sauce. Finish Teriyaki chicken with pineapple broccoli with 4 scallions, thinly sliced.
