Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1 orange or yellow bell pepper
  • 1/2 sweet onion
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 20- ounce can Dole pineapple chunks
  • 2 green onions (thinly sliced)
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1 cup basic barbecue sauce (or your favorite)
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/2  cup pineapple juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instruction

  • Cut chicken and vegetables into large, bite-sized chunks. Place into a large zip-top bag.
  • Drain pineapple, reserving 1/2 cup of the juice, and add to the vegetables and chicken in the zip-top bag. 
  • Whisk together marinade ingredients in a small bowl. Reserve about 1 cup of the marinade and pour the rest over the chicken and vegetables. 
  • Seal the bag and shake to even coat and massage into the meat. Set in the fridge to marinate for 30 minutes. 
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. 
  • Remove chicken and vegetables from the bag and arrange in a single layer on a large sheet pan, discarding any remaining marinade. (Use tongs or a slotted spoon for this; do not pour onto the tray. You want as little liquid as possible because there will be more liquid created as it cooks).
  • Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, pour the reserved marinade (not from the bag) into a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a low boil and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and reduced by about half. 
  • Remove the sheet pan from the oven and turn on the broiler. Move the top rack up. (*There will be quite a bit of liquid in the pan from the pineapple and the marinade. I just used paper towels to soak up most of it, then stirred everything together). 
  • Pour the thickened sauce evenly over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Slide back into the oven under the preheated broiler for about 5-7 minutes or until sauce is bubbly and meat and veggies are browned. 
  • Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds, if desired, and serve with rice or noodles.
