Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
  3. Chop the veggies into even pieces.
  4. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, pineapple juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, and rice vinegar in a bowl.
  5. In a separate bowl, blend cornstarch with water and add it to the sauce.
  6. Spread the chicken, veggies, and pineapple on the sheet pan, pouring the sauce over the top. Toss gently to coat.
Cooking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Broil for 2-3 minutes for caramelization.
Serving

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three to four days. Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking and enhance flavor with a splash of lime juice before serving.
