Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts
  • 1 red pepper
  • 1 orange/yellow pepper
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1/3 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tbsp pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flake
  • 1 tbsp arrowroot powder sub cornstarch
  • 4 cups fresh pineapple diced

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Dice chicken and all veggies into around 1 inch cubes. Add all to a large bowl.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flake. Whisk in arrowroot powder.
  4. Pour over chicken and veggies and toss until fully coated.
  5. Pour onto baking sheet and spread out evenly. Bake for 10 minutes and then add pineapple chunks over top, tossing to coat with chicken mixture and sauce. Bake for another 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Dice the chicken and veggies evenly. A uniform size for all the ingredients allows everything to cook evenly on the sheet pan.
  • Wait to add the pineapple. Add the pineapple only after the first 10 minutes of baking. This lets it caramelize instead of steaming and turning mushy.
  • Broil 3-4 minutes at the very end. This makes a crispier finish. Don't forget to save the saucy liquid left on the pan to spoon over your rice!
