Ingredients
  

  • 1 20 ounce can pineapple chunks
  • 1 red onion
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper
  • 3 chicken breasts about 1 1/2 pounds
  • SAUCE:
  • 1 C of pineapple juice
  • 1/4 C water
  • 3/4 C apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp chicken bullion granules
  • 1 C sugar
  • 1 Tb brown sugar
  • 2 Tb cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp ginger
  • 1/2 tsp lemon pepper

Instructions
 

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 420 degrees.
  • 2. Grab a (20 ounce) can of pineapple chunks. Pour as much juice as you can into a large glass measuring cup.
  • 3. Chop 1 red onion, 2 green bell peppers, 1 red pepper and 1 yellow pepper into large 1-2 inch chunks. You'll want to be sure that they are all about the same size so they cook evenly.
  • 4. Cut 3 chicken breasts into 1 inch chunks.
  • 5. Place the chicken, veggies and pineapple chunks into a large bowl.
  • 6. Drizzle 3-4 Tb olive oil into the bowl and toss to coat.
  • 7. Sprinkle the chicken and veggies with garlic salt and lemon pepper.
  • 8. Stir to combine.
  • 9. Line two large baking sheets with tin foil and spread the mixture out evenly over them.
  • 10. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are crisp tender.
  • 11. While the pans are roasting away, make the heavenly sauce. Take the reserved pineapple juice (you should have about 1 C of pineapple juice, if you aren't quite there, add a bit of water to bring the measurement to a full cup) and add to it 1/4 C water, 3/4 C apple cider vinegar, 2 tsp soy sauce, 1 tsp chicken bullion granules, 1 C sugar, 1 Tb brown sugar, 2 Tb cornstarch, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp ginger and 1/2 tsp lemon pepper.
  • 12. Whisk it together to combine, making sure the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  • 13. Pour the liquid into a sauce pan. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Allow it to boil for 2 minutes.
  • 14. When the chicken has cooked through and the veggies are crisp tender, pour 1/3 of the sauce over the top of each pan (leaving about 1/3 of it in the sauce pan to drizzle over each individual serving).
  • 15. Stir the sauce into the chicken and veggies so that everything gets nice and coated.
  • 16. Bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the sauce bubbles up a bit and becomes nice and sticky.
  • 17. Serve in individual bowls with white rice and the additional sauce poured over the top.
