Ingredients
1 ½ pounds chicken breast, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
1 ½ cups pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil, and lightly grease it.
2. In a saucepan, whisk together soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and apple cider vinegar. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water and stir into the sauce. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
3. On the prepared sheet pan, arrange chicken, bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
4. Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and vegetables and toss everything to coat evenly.
5. Roast for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is fully cooked and veggies are slightly charred.
6. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the cooked sheet pan and serve hot with rice, noodles, or on its own.
Notes
This recipe is easily customizable—add jalapeños or chili flakes for heat.
Use canned pineapple in juice (not syrup) if fresh isn’t available.
You can prepare the sauce and chop veggies a day ahead for quicker assembly.
