How to Make
Step 1: Prep your ingredients and sauce
Preheat oven to 350F and grease a baking sheet.
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces and place in a mixing bowl. Cut the pepper and onion into similar sized pieces and place in the bowl. Add the pineapple.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Pour over the chicken, bell pepper, pineapple, and yellow onion and toss.
Step 2: Bake and Enjoy
Pour the contents of the mixing bowl onto the greased baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, remove from the oven, toss the contents and bake in the oven for 7 minutes. Increase the heat to 425F once you’ve set the timer.
Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly and serve.

Once cooked, keep this sheet pan pineapple chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop over medium low heat or in the microwave.
