  • 1 red bell pepper chopped Look for vibrant and firm peppers.
  • 1 yellow bell pepper chopped Look for vibrant and firm peppers.
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1.5 cups fresh pineapple chunks (or canned, drained) Fresh should have a sweet scent.
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.25 tsp chili flakes (optional) Add for heat.
Sauce for Tossing & Drizzling
  • 0.33 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup pineapple juice Use 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). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease for easy cleanup.
  2. Spread the chopped chicken on the pan, followed by the bell peppers, onion, and pineapple.
  3. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss everything together until nicely coated.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F/74°C internal temperature).
  2. While the chicken and veggies are baking, whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and rice vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for about 3–4 minutes, thickening with a cornstarch slurry if desired.
  3. Once everything is cooked, drizzle the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Notes

Serve with coconut rice or a fresh green salad for balance. Can adjust sweetness or add spice depending on preference.
