Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tbsp sesame oil (optional)
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- Green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil.
- Stir in the cornstarch until fully dissolved.
- Marinate chicken thighs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken thighs for 3-4 minutes on each side.
