  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder (or cornstarch)
  • 4 cups fresh pineapple, diced
  • Cooked rice, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 400ยฐF (200ยฐC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine chicken, bell peppers, and red onion.
  3. Make Sauce: In a separate bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, honey, pineapple juice, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk in arrowroot powder until smooth.
  4. Marinate and Roast: Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetables, and toss to coat. Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
  5. Add Pineapple: Add diced pineapple to the baking sheet and toss with the chicken and vegetables. Bake for another 15 minutes.
  6. Broil and Serve: Broil for the last 3-4 minutes for a crispier finish. Serve the chicken and vegetables over cooked rice, along with the extra sauce from the pan.

Notes

  • You can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of breasts, but adjust cooking time as needed.
  • If you don’t have arrowroot powder, you can substitute with cornstarch.
  • For a sweeter dish, you can add a bit more honey to the sauce.
  • Serve with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables or a salad.
