Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2
Place the chicken thigh cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring it is evenly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Step 3
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Step 4
Arrange the marinated chicken cubes, pineapple chunks, bell pepper strips, and sliced onion on the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer.
Step 5
Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
Step 6
Remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
Step 7
Assemble the lettuce wraps by taking a lettuce leaf and placing a few pieces of roasted chicken, pineapple chunks, bell pepper strips, and sliced onion on it.
