Ingredients
  

For the Chicken and Veggies
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced
  • 1 red onion cut into wedges
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
For the Hawaiian Sauce
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger minced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Equipment

  • 1 Large Baking Sheet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Small Bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, prepare the sauce. Whisk together the soy sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar, rice vinegar, minced ginger, and minced garlic. In a separate tiny bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water to create a smooth slurry, then whisk it into the sauce.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, red onion, and broccoli florets.
  4. Pour about two-thirds of the sauce over the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single, even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use a second pan if necessary.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly caramelized.
  7. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining sauce over the chicken and vegetables for a final glaze.
  8. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.

Notes

Don't Crowd the Pan: For the best caramelization, ensure ingredients are in a single layer with space between them.
Uniform Cuts: Cut chicken and veggies to a similar size for even cooking.
Fresh is Best: Fresh pineapple and ginger will yield the most vibrant flavor.
