Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 each red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 each yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional)
For the Sauce
  • 0.33 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup pineapple juice (from the can or fresh)
  • 3 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry, optional for thickening)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. On the pan, spread the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C internal temperature).
  2. While baking, whisk the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. If you like it thicker, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy.
  3. Once the chicken and veggies are done, drizzle the sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For enhanced flavors, marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours before cooking. Feel free to add other vegetables like zucchini or snap peas for added nutrition and color. Adjust chili flakes based on your spice preference.
