• Chicken breasts or thighs

Directions

I start by preheating the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lining a baking sheet.

I cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and chop the vegetables into similar sizes.

I place everything on the baking sheet, including the pineapple chunks.

I mix soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and olive oil in a bowl, then pour the sauce over the ingredients.

I bake for about 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked and the edges are slightly caramelized.

I serve it warm straight from the pan.
