Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

  • 1 ½ lbs chicken breasts, cut into inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into strips (about inches long by ¾ inch wide)
  • 1 orange or yellow bell pepper, cut into strips (about inches long by ¾ inch wide)
  • ½ large red onion, cut into strips
  • 1 cup diced pineapple (fresh or canned)

For the Sauce:

  • ⅓ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from the can if using canned; freshly squeezed if using fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (I use fresh minced ginger paste from the store)
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep your oven: Heat it to 400℉. Then line a large sheet pan with foil.
  2. Mix the chicken and veggies: Put the chicken, peppers, and onions in a large bowl.
  3. Make the sauce: In a small bowl, stir all sauce ingredients together until smooth.
  4. Save some sauce: Set aside half of the sauce (about 1/3 cup) in a microwave-safe bowl. You could use this later for drizzling.
  5. Coat everything: Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken mixture. Stir well to coat all pieces.
  6. Marinate if you want: If you have time, this can sit in the fridge for up to 24 hours. But it also tastes great if you cook it right away.
  7. Spread on pan: Put the chicken mixture evenly on your sheet pan. Then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  8. First bake: Cook for 20 minutes.
  9. Add pineapple: Take the pan out and add the diced pineapple. Then put it back in the oven for 5-10 more minutes until chicken reaches 165℉.
  10. Heat reserved sauce: While the chicken finishes cooking, heat the saved sauce in the microwave for 45-60 seconds until it gets thick.
  11. Finish and serve: When chicken is done, drizzle the thickened sauce on top. You could add cilantro or parsley if you like.

Notes

  • Cut chicken evenly: Make sure all pieces are about the same size. This way they cook at the same rate.
  • Don’t skip the foil: It makes cleanup much easier and prevents sticking.
  • Check chicken temperature: Use a meat thermometer to make sure it reaches 165℉.
  • Save some sauce: The reserved sauce adds extra flavor at the end.
  • Fresh vs canned pineapple: Both work well, but fresh gives a bit more texture.
