Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 6 bone-in chicken thighs with 3 tbsp jerk seasoning and 2 tbsp olive oil until evenly coated.
Step 2: Arrange the seasoned chicken thighs on a sheet pan. Scatter 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks, 1 sliced red bell pepper, 1 sliced yellow bell pepper, and 1 small sliced red onion around the chicken.
Step 3: Roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the edges of the pineapple and vegetables are caramelized.
Step 4: Remove from oven and drizzle 2 tbsp fresh lime juice over the chicken and vegetables, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Serve warm.
