Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1.5 lbs 1 ½ lbs (700 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 small small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1.5 cups 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained)
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp ½ tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp ½ tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp ½ tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)
Sauce Ingredients
  • 0.33 cup ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup ¼ cup pineapple juice (from the can or fresh)
  • 3 tbsp 3 tbsp honey (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp rice vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tbsp 1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry, optional for thickening)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. On the pan, spread chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple. Drizzle with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
Cooking
  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. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  2. If you like it thicker, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy.
Final Assembly
  1. Once the chicken and veggies are done, drizzle the sauce over the top (or serve on the side for dipping). Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Enhance flavor by marinating the chicken in the sauce for an hour before cooking. Customize veggies according to your preferences; throw in some snap peas or carrots! Serve with a fresh salad for a side that complements the tropical theme.
