For the Vegetables

Instructions

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F, allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for even cooking.
  • Prepare an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick spray.
  • Whisk together in a bowl the soy sauce, cornstarch, ketchup, pineapple juice concentrate, brown sugar, rice vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  • Toss the diced green and red bell peppers, red onion, and chicken breasts on the baking sheet. Pour the vibrant sauce over and gently toss to coat everything evenly.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. Then, remove the sheet from the oven and toss the ingredients again for an even cook.
  • Add the fresh cubed pineapple to the baking sheet, returning it to the oven. Continue baking until the chicken is fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes more.
  • Toss again to mix in the pineapple and serve warm.

Notes

This dish is even better over a bed of fluffy coconut rice for an authentic experience.
