# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 4 cups of fresh pineapple, cut into small cubes
02 - 1 small red onion, chopped up
03 - 2 pounds of diced chicken breast
04 - 1 red bell pepper, cut into pieces
05 - 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, diced up

→ Marinade

06 - 1/4 cup of ketchup
07 - 1/3 cup of low-sodium soy sauce
08 - 2 tablespoons of pineapple juice
09 - 1 clove of garlic, minced
10 - 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger
11 - 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar
12 - 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
13 - 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder
14 - 1/4 cup of honey

# Instructions:

01 - Turn on your oven, preheating it to 400°F (200°C). Place parchment paper on a baking tray.
02 - Chop the chicken, the pineapples, all peppers, and onion into similar-sized cubes. Mix the chicken with veggies in a big bowl.
03 - Grab a glass measuring cup. Pour in soy sauce, rice vinegar, pineapple juice, ketchup, garlic, honey, red pepper flakes, ginger, and stir well. Mix in cornstarch last to lightly thicken it.
04 - Pour your marinade all over the chicken and veggie mix. Stir it up until every piece gets coated well.
05 - Lay the coated mixture out evenly on your tray. Bake it for a quick 10 minutes.
06 - Add chunks of pineapple to the tray. Gently toss them with the chicken and sauce. Pop the tray back in the oven for another 15 minutes.
07 - Set your oven to broil and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid any burning but aim for a nice crispy top.
08 - Spoon it over rice and add sauce on top if you love it extra saucy. Tuck in while it's hot!

# Notes:

01 - If you can, use fresh pineapple because the canned or frozen kind could change the texture. For frozen ones, let them thaw and pat them dry first.
02 - Pair with coconut-infused rice or some grilled veggies to round it out.
03 - Crank up the heat by throwing in more chili flakes or slicing fresh chili on top.
