One-Pan Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Recipe

This EASY 20 minute One Pan Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken is the perfect weeknight meal — healthy, full of flavor, and ideal for weekly meal prep.

One-pan dinners are lifesavers on busy weeknights, and this Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken is one of my favorites. Light, bright pineapple and a simple homemade teriyaki-style sauce give tender chicken and crisp vegetables a delicious sweet-savory glaze. The recipe comes together in about 20 minutes, cooks in a single skillet, and is easy to scale for meal prep. It’s a great dinner choice when you want something quick, healthy, and family-friendly.

The combination of fresh pineapple, broccoli, and red bell pepper keeps this dish vibrant both in flavor and color. The sauce uses pantry staples—soy sauce, pineapple juice, sesame oil, honey, and ginger—so you can whip it up with minimal effort. Serve over brown rice, cauliflower rice, or enjoy it as a lower-carb bowl all on its own.

This recipe is perfect for meal prep. I typically get about four generous portions from one batch, so if you’re cooking for two people or want extra lunches for the week, consider doubling it. It reheats well and keeps its texture nicely when stored in glass meal prep containers.

I get a lot of questions about containers: I recommend using 3-cup glass containers that are BPA-free. Glass won’t absorb stains or odors like some plastic containers can, and it keeps food tasting fresh after refrigeration. If you prefer, you can swap any of the vegetables for options you like—snap peas, asparagus, carrots, or zucchini all work well. And if you want a seafood option, the sauce pairs beautifully with shrimp.

One Pan Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken

This EASY 20 minute One Pan Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken is the perfect weeknight meal that is healthy, loaded with flavor and ideal for meal prep.

Ingredients

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 cups fresh pineapple, cubed
• Garnish (optional): sliced green onions and sesame seeds

For the Sauce

• 1/4 cup lower sodium soy sauce
• 1/4 cup pineapple juice
• 1 tsp sesame oil
• 3 Tbsp honey
• 2 tsp fresh grated ginger

Instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until they begin to brown, about 4–5 minutes.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds so the garlic becomes fragrant but not burned.
3. Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and cubed pineapple to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
4. While the skillet cooks, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger in a small bowl.
5. Pour the sauce into the skillet, stir to coat everything evenly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens and glazes the chicken and vegetables.
6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds if desired, and serve immediately over rice or cauliflower rice.
