Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Add the soy sauce, ½ cup water, brown sugar, honey, ginger, olive oil and garlic, combine together in a small saucepan and cover. allow them to boil over medium heat. Once it starts boiling, remove the lid and cook for one minute.

Once the sauce is boiled, add the sludge to the saucepan and stir in to combine. Allow to cook for another minute until the sauce starts to thicken and then remove from heat.
Step 3:
In a casserole dish, place the raw chicken breasts flat and pour about a cup of the sauce over top of the chicken. Then place the chicken in the oven and allow to cook for about 30-35 minutes or until breasts are well cooked. Remove the dish from the oven and cut the chicken into the dish using two forks.
Step 4:
While cooking the chicken, steam or cook your frozen vegetables according to package directions. Then go back to the shredded chicken and the cooked vegetables, then add the vegetables, pineapple and rice to the casserole dish with the chicken.
Step 5:
Add most of the remaining sauce, and reserve little to drizzle over the top when finished. Stir everything together in the casserole dish until it is well combined. Return the dish to the oven and allow to cook for 15 minutes.
Step 6:
Remove from the oven again and drizzle with the remaining sauce and serve.
