# Step-by-Step Guide:

Get your oven hot at 400°F (200°C). Cover a baking tray with parchment or give it a light oil coating.
02 -
Toss together your diced chicken, sliced peppers, onions, and pineapple chunks in a big bowl.
03 -
Mix up soy sauce, olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper in a smaller bowl until well blended.
04 -
Drizzle the sauce all over your chicken mix and stir until everything's covered nicely.
05 -
Lay out all ingredients flat on your ready baking tray.
06 -
Pop it in the hot oven for about 20-25 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and veggies turn soft.
07 -
Take it out, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, then put it on top of some rice.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can swap chicken with tofu or any plant protein if you want a meat-free option.
02 -
The pineapple gets extra sweet when it browns, which goes really well with the salty parts of the meal.
