This easy 20-minute One Pan Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken is an ideal weeknight meal — healthy, full of flavor, and great for meal prep.
One-pan dinners are lifesavers during a busy week, and this pineapple teriyaki chicken is one of my favorites. I’ve always loved pineapple — especially in summer — and the sweet-tangy fruit pairs wonderfully with a homemade teriyaki sauce, crisp vegetables, and tender chicken. This dish cooks in about 20 minutes and everything is prepared in a single skillet, so cleanup is quick and simple.
The combination of fresh pineapple, vibrant red pepper, and broccoli tossed in a sticky, savory-sweet sauce makes this recipe satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s versatile too — you can easily add snap peas, asparagus, carrots, or swap the chicken for shrimp if you prefer seafood. Serve it over brown rice, cauliflower rice, or enjoy it on its own for a low-carb option.
This recipe is excellent for weekly meal prep. It yields about four portions, so if you’re cooking for two or want more meals for the week, consider doubling the ingredients. When I meal prep, these portions held up well in the fridge and reheated nicely without losing flavor. If you pack lunches, glass containers that don’t stain or retain odors work best for storing leftovers.
The sauce for this dish is simple to whisk together and uses pantry-friendly ingredients: lower sodium soy sauce, pineapple juice, sesame oil, honey, and fresh grated ginger. The pineapple adds natural sweetness while the soy sauce and sesame oil add depth and savory notes. A garnish of sliced green onions and sesame seeds finishes the skillet beautifully.
