Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Spread the chicken pieces, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, onion, and pineapple on the pan.
Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C internal temperature).
Whisk together soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan, bring to a simmer, and cook for about 3-4 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry.
Drizzle the sauce over the chicken and veggies, or serve on the side. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce overnight. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
