Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 green bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Set the sauce aside.
  3. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized chunks and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, cut the red onion into wedges, and chop the pineapple into bite-sized chunks.
  5. Add the chicken, vegetables, and pineapple to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and pour the prepared sauce on top. Toss everything until evenly coated.
  6. Spread the chicken, vegetables, and pineapple in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
  8. Serve hot over cooked rice or quinoa, and drizzle any extra sauce from the pan over the top for added flavor.

Notes
