Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ lbs / 700 g boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small red onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 ½ cups fresh pineapple chunks or canned pineapple chunks, drained
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon chili flakes, optional
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup pineapple juice, fresh or reserved from the can
- 3 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoon water, optional for a thicker sauce
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F / 200°C.
- Cover a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil the surface.
- Arrange the chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple across the prepared pan.
- Add the olive oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes, then toss until everything is lightly coated.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through, until it reaches 165°F / 74°C inside.
- While the pan roasts, combine the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey or brown sugar, and vinegar in a small saucepan.
- Let the sauce bubble gently for 3–4 minutes. For a thicker finish, stir in the cornstarch mixture and cook until smooth and glossy.
- Spoon the sauce over the roasted chicken and vegetables, or serve it alongside the pan for dipping.
- Finish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions, if you like.
Notes
- Turn the chicken halfway through baking so the pieces cook evenly.
- Use the cornstarch mixture only if you prefer a thicker, shiny glaze.
- Serve with rice, coconut rice, or cauliflower rice to catch the extra sauce.
- Sesame seeds or green onions add a fresh, simple garnish.
