Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, & ginger. Heat over medium heat until the mixture begins to simmer.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Stir it into the sauce & cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat & set aside.

Step 5

Arrange the chicken breasts or thighs in the center of the sheet pan.

Step 6

Surround the chicken with the pineapple chunks, bell peppers & red onion. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables & toss them to coat.

Step 7

Season everything with salt & pepper.

Step 8

Brush half of the Hawaiian sauce over the chicken & drizzle the remainder over the vegetables. Toss the vegetables lightly to coat them evenly.

Step 9

Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 F & the vegetables are tender & slightly caramelized.
