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, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple chunks on the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, add garlic, salt, pepper, paprika, and chili flakes. Toss everything to coat evenly.
Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F / 74°C internal temperature).
While the chicken and vegetables are baking, whisk the soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, and vinegar in a saucepan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes. If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until glossy.
Once cooked, drizzle the sauce over the chicken and veggies, or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with sesame seeds or sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

For a vegan option, substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh. Marinating the chicken in the sauce for 30 minutes before baking can enhance the flavor.
