This fuss-free dinner captures the classic flavors of takeout sweet and sour chicken without the mess of deep frying. By roasting the chicken, peppers, and pineapple together on a sheet pan, the natural sugars caramelize to create a sticky, vibrant glaze that coats every bite.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and cornstarch until the sugar dissolves and no lumps remain.
Place the cubed chicken, pineapple chunks, red and green bell peppers, and onion wedges onto the prepared baking sheet.
Season the chicken and vegetable mixture lightly with salt and black pepper.
Pour the sauce over the ingredients on the baking sheet and toss everything with tongs or your hands until thoroughly coated.
Spread the mixture out into a single, even layer to ensure proper roasting.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the mixture once halfway through cooking, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is sticky and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and serve hot over steamed white rice.
