Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1 small red onion, chopped into chunks
  • 4 cups fresh pineapple, diced

For the Marinade:

  • ⅓ cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder (or substitute cornstarch)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.

Step 2: Prep the Ingredients

  • Dice the chicken breast into 1-inch cubes.
  • Cut the bell peppers and red onion into similar-sized pieces.
  • Chop the pineapple into bite-sized chunks.

Step 3: Make the Marinade

In a mixing bowl, whisk together:

  • Soy sauce, ketchup, honey, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  • Slowly whisk in the arrowroot powder until fully dissolved.

Step 4: Coat the Chicken and Vegetables

  • Place the chicken, bell peppers, and red onion in a large mixing bowl.
  • Pour the marinade over the chicken and veggies, tossing until everything is evenly coated.

Step 5: Arrange on the Baking Sheet

  • Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  • Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting.

Step 6: Bake the Chicken and Vegetables

  • Bake for 10 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
  • Remove from the oven and scatter the pineapple chunks over the mixture.
  • Toss lightly to coat everything in the sauce.

Step 7: Continue Baking

  • Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the veggies are slightly caramelized.

Step 8: Broil for Crispiness (Optional)

  • For an extra charred and crispy texture, switch your oven to broil mode for the last 3-4 minutes.
  • Watch closely to prevent burning.

Step 9: Serve & Enjoy!

  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Serve over steamed rice, quinoa, or lettuce wraps.
  • Drizzle with the extra sauce from the pan for added flavor.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • Reheating: Warm in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.
  • Substitutions: Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra juiciness, or swap bell peppers for zucchini, broccoli, or snap peas.
  • Spicy Option: Add extra red pepper flakes, Sriracha, or chili paste for a heat boost.
