Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish or spray with cooking spray.
  2. 2 Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, cut into 1-inch chunks, and add to the dish. Sprinkle with cornstarch, and toss until chicken is coated. Stir in onions, green and red bell peppers, and pineapple.
  3. 3 Add ketchup, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger paste to a small bowl, whisk until well combined, and stir into the chicken mixture.
  4. 4 Bake until chicken is no longer pink at the center and juices run clear, 14 to 17 minutes, stirring halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the center should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). If sauce is a bit thick, stir in a splash of water to thin out until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. 5 Garnish with green onion slices and serve.
