Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Place chicken chunks in a large bowl, pour the marinade over them, toss to coat, and let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
  4. Spread pineapple, bell peppers, and red onion on the sheet pan, drizzle with a little olive oil, and toss to coat.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken pieces on top of the vegetables in a single layer.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes, then remove the pan to flip the chicken and stir the vegetables.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 15–20 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Switch the oven to broil for 2–3 minutes to caramelize the chicken and pineapple, watching closely to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from the oven, let rest for 5 minutes, garnish with cilantro and green onions, and serve.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For extra caramelization, brush additional honey on the chicken during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
