Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 (20 oz) can pineapple chunks, drained (reserve ¼ cup juice for the sauce)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- ¼ cup reserved pineapple juice
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp ketchup
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish
- Sliced green onions for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large, rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray or a little oil.
- Make the Sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, reserved pineapple juice, honey, ketchup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. In a small separate bowl, make a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with one tablespoon of cold water. Whisk the slurry into the simmering sauce and continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Combine on the Pan: Place the cubed chicken, chopped bell peppers, and red onion on the prepared baking sheet. Pour about two-thirds of the prepared Hawaiian sauce over the mixture. Toss everything until it’s evenly coated in the sauce.
- Bake: Spread the mixture into a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Add Pineapple: Remove the pan from the oven. Add the drained pineapple chunks and gently stir everything. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve: Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top of the finished dish. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve immediately over a bed of fluffy rice or quinoa.
