Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • Assorted bell peppers, chopped
  • Red onion, cut into wedges
  • Pineapple chunks

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the chicken and vegetables evenly.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cubed chicken, chopped bell peppers, red onion wedges, and pineapple chunks. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, cornstarch, garlic powder, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes if using. This sauce will provide a sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy flavor.
  4. Toss with Sauce: Pour the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything thoroughly so the chicken and veggies are evenly coated with the flavorful sauce.
  5. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased to prevent sticking. This helps to ensure even cooking and caramelization.
  6. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Notes

  • You can use frozen pineapple chunks if fresh is not available; just thaw before using.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your desired spice level or omit them for a milder dish.
  • Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To prevent sticking, line the sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly oil it.
