Description
A delightful dish combining tender chicken, juicy pineapple, and colorful bell peppers, roasted to perfection for a taste of the tropics.
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)
- ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup pineapple juice (from the 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)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare your sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
- Spread the chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple evenly on the pan.
- Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss to coat everything evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until the chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C internal temperature).
- While the chicken and veggies bake, make the sauce by whisking soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 3–4 minutes, and stir in the cornstarch slurry if you prefer a thicker sauce.
- Once everything is cooked, drizzle the sauce over the dish or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.
Notes
Marinate the chicken for enhanced flavor and feel free to customize the spice level with additional chili flakes or sauces.
