Ingredients

Scale

1 ½ lbs (700 g) 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 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)

Sauce (for tossing & drizzling):
⅓ 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)

Instructions

Prep the oven & pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Assemble ingredients: Spread the chicken pieces across the tray and add the chopped bell peppers, onion wedges, and pineapple chunks.
Add seasoning: Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss to coat evenly.
Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Make the sauce: In a saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar, simmering for 3–4 minutes. Add cornstarch slurry if desired.
Finish: Drizzle the sauce over the dish and garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions.

Notes

For perfect results, cut chicken and veggies into uniform pieces and avoid overcrowding the pan for even roasting. Can substitute chicken for tofu or shrimp for variations.
