Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 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)
Sauce Ingredients
  • cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ 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.
  2. On the pan, spread chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
Roasting
  1. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C internal temp).
Sauce Preparation
  1. While baking, whisk soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan.
  2. Simmer for 3–4 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy.
Serving
  1. Once chicken and veggies are done, drizzle sauce over top or serve on the side for dipping.
  2. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For easy meal prep, chop chicken and vegetables ahead of time. Store sauce in the fridge until ready to serve. Paired suggestions include serving over white or brown rice, or mixed greens for a lighter option.
