Want to put a delicious dinner on the table but don’t have a lot of time? Easy Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken Sheet Pan is a tasty choice for busy parents! 10 minutes of prep and 30 minutes in the oven is all it takes. Since everything is contained to a couple of dishes, clean-up is quick too! It’s a great weeknight dinner for summer or back to school season.
The trick to making a delicious meal quickly is knowing where you can save time and what’s worth the effort. Store-bought teriyaki sauce is fine for this dish. There are lots of brands that have great flavors. Of course, if you’re feeling ambitious you can make your own (see recipe below).
DON’T save time by buying canned pineapple, go for fresh! It makes a big difference to the flavor and texture of this dish and it’s worth the few minutes it takes to cut one up. Alternatively, grab the pre-cut fresh pineapple rings from your produce department. It’ll cost you a little more but the time-savings and vibrant flavors will be worth it!

Produce Moms Tip: Cutting a pineapple is easier than you think! Watch our pineapple cutting video tutorial here.
This recipe is kid-friendly and can be gluten-free if you are careful to use gluten-free teriyaki sauce (or if you make your own sauce, gluten-free soy sauce). The teriyaki sauce recipe we included below is gluten-free. It does add a few minutes of prep time to the recipe, but not so much that you can’t still make it on a busy evening.
