Instructions

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken and Vegetables:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, chopped bell peppers, wedged red onion, and drained pineapple chunks.
Make the Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, olive oil, garlic powder, ginger, cornstarch, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Toss and Coat:
Pour the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together to ensure the chicken and veggies are evenly coated.
Bake:
Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or a side of crispy bread.

Notes

Add Heat: For a spicier kick, sprinkle extra red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce.
Make it Sweet & Savory: Add a dash of honey or maple syrup to the sauce for added richness.
Add Veggies: Feel free to toss in extra vegetables like zucchini, snap peas, or baby carrots for more flavor and nutrition.
