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
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp cornstarch + 2 tbsp water (slurry, optional for thickening)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prep a baking sheet.
Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and chop the peppers and onion. Drain or cube pineapple as needed.
In a large bowl, add chicken, peppers, onion, pineapple, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss well.
Spread in one layer on the prepared sheet pan and roast for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and veggies are tender with browned edges.
Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and rice vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer 3–4 minutes, optionally whisk in cornstarch slurry and simmer until glossy.
Remove pan, rest briefly, then drizzle or brush sauce over the contents. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: Swap chicken thighs for juicier results or use extra-firm tofu for a vegetarian version. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
