- 2 tablespoons pineapple juice (from the can)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
- Prepare the oven by heating to 400°F for optimal roasting conditions.
- Create a vibrant mixture of chicken, bell peppers, onion, and pineapple chunks in a spacious mixing vessel.
- Craft a zesty marinade by blending soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice, cornstarch, garlic powder, ginger, and optional red pepper flakes until smooth and well-integrated.
- Drench the chicken and vegetable ensemble with the aromatic sauce, ensuring thorough and even coating.
- Arrange the seasoned ingredients across a rimmed baking sheet, distributing them in a single, uncrowded layer to promote even cooking.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, allowing the chicken to reach perfect doneness and vegetables to become tender and caramelized.
- Remove from oven and let the dish rest briefly before serving to allow flavors to settle and juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Customize heat levels by adjusting red pepper flakes for spice-sensitive diners or those craving extra kick.
- Ensure chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature using a meat thermometer for safe consumption.
