4. Drain the pineapple and reserve the juice for the sauce.
5. In a bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, stevia, red pepper flakes, and remaining 2 teaspoons of the cornstarch.
6. Place the browned chicken pieces in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Then add the pineapple chunks, onion, red bell peppers, and yellow bell peppers. Then pour the sauce evenly over the chicken and veggies.
7. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake until the sauce is bubbling and the chicken is cooked through. This should take around 45 minutes. Stir the chicken mixture and rotate the pan front to back halfway through.
8. Serve garnished with green onions.
