Ingredients
  

Chicken and Vegetables
  • 1 ½ lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 unit red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 unit yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional for a touch of heat)
Sauce
  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free option
  • ¼ cup pineapple juice (from 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 your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Spread the cut chicken, chopped bell peppers, onion wedges, and pineapple chunks on the pan.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and optional chili flakes. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Cooking
  1. Roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through (with an internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C).
  2. While baking, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the cornstarch slurry for thickness, if desired.
  4. Once the chicken and veggies are done, drizzle the sauce over them or serve it on the side.
Serving
  1. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions, if desired. Serve hot with rice, quinoa, or a fresh green salad.

Notes

Tips: Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor; adjust spice levels to your preference; don't overcrowd the pan; marinate the chicken ahead of time for deeper flavors.
