Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet with oil or cooking spray.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, ginger, and cornstarch slurry until well combined.
  • Place the cubed chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss lightly to coat.
  • Pour the sauce mixture over the ingredients on the pan. Toss everything again until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated in the glaze. Spread them out in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  • Optional: Turn the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes to caramelize the pineapple and edges of the chicken. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  • Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over white rice or cauliflower rice.
