Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
In a small bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and garlic. Set aside.
In another small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Set aside.
Place chicken, pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Pour half of the sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss again to coat evenly.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the cornstarch slurry and cook until thickened, about 2–3 minutes.
Remove the sheet pan from the oven, drizzle with thickened sauce, and toss everything together before serving.
Serve over rice or noodles, if desired.

Notes

Feel free to swap in other veggies like zucchini or broccoli.
Chicken thighs add extra juiciness, but breasts work just as well.
Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor.
