→ Chicken Mix
11 -
2 cups pineapple chunks (fresh only)
12 -
1 small red onion, cut into pieces
13 -
1 1/2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized cubes
14 -
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped into 1-inch squares
15 -
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped into 1-inch pieces
16 -
2 Tbsp freshly chopped cilantro (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and let it heat up.
02 -
Coat a large rimmed baking sheet (18 by 13 inches) with non-stick spray so food won't stick.
03 -
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ketchup, thawed pineapple concentrate, brown sugar, rice vinegar, cornstarch, worcestershire, garlic, ginger, and black pepper until smooth.
04 -
Spread the chunks of green and red bell peppers, red onion, and chicken on the baking sheet in a single even layer.
05 -
Drizzle the sauce all over the chicken and veggies. Toss them gently to make sure everything gets covered evenly.
06 -
Pop the sheet pan into the oven and let it bake for 10 minutes.
07 -
After the first 10 minutes, pull out the pan and stir the chicken and veggies to help them cook evenly. Add the pineapple chunks at this time, spreading them throughout.
08 -
Slide the pan back into the oven and bake for another 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is done and has an internal temp of at least 165°F (74°C).
09 -
Take the pan out of the oven and toss everything one last time so the sauce coats nicely. Sprinkle cilantro on top if you'd like, then dish it up warm, maybe over coconut rice.
# Notes:
01 -
Fresh pineapple works best for this dish—frozen or canned won't give the same results.
02 -
Add the pineapple partway to keep it from getting too soft or releasing extra juice.
03 -
Pair this dish with coconut rice for a filling meal.
04 -
Make sure everything, from the chicken to the veggies, is cut to about the same size (1-inch pieces) so it all cooks evenly.
