We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.
