Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, and ground ginger to create a flavorful marinade. On a sheet pan, arrange the chicken breasts, pineapple chunks, chopped red and green bell peppers, and sliced red onion. Pour the marinade over everything and toss gently to ensure even coating. Bake for about 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. Serve warm, optionally over cooked rice.
