# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Take the pan out of the oven. Pop some green onions and sesame seeds on top. Dish it up over your rice and dive in.
02 -
Pop the tray in your hot oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. Everything's done once the chicken isn't pink anymore and the veggies are soft.
03 -
Plop the tossed mixture onto your baking sheet, keeping it all in one flat layer.
04 -
Drizzle the sauce over your chicken-pepper-pineapple mix. Give it a good toss so every bit gets soaked.
05 -
Grab a small bowl. Stir together soy sauce, olive oil, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper until smooth.
06 -
In a big bowl throw in pineapple chunks, red onion, bell pepper, and chicken pieces.
07 -
Switch your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lay out parchment or just grease your baking tray a bit.
# Helpful Hints:

Want to skip the chicken? Swap it out for tofu or another plant protein for a vegetarian twist.

Let things get a little brown on the edges—when pineapple browns up, it brings out extra sweet notes that work awesome with the savory flavors.
