Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 1.5 lb chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tsp coriander powder
  • 2 tsp ginger powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Vegetables and Sauce

  • 1 red bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 green bell pepper (diced)
  • 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
  • ½ cup Hawaiian-style BBQ Sauce (use Primal Kitchen for dairy-free option)
  • 1 cup pineapple chunks (drained if canned)

Garnishes

  • 1 fresh lime (juiced)
  • Sesame seeds
  • Cilantro (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a large baking sheet with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Marinate the chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, coriander powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the marinade. Add the cubed chicken breasts and toss thoroughly to coat each piece evenly with the spice mixture.
  3. Add vegetables and BBQ sauce: Incorporate the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the red onion chunks into the bowl. Pour in the Hawaiian-style BBQ sauce and use your hands or a spoon to thoroughly coat all the ingredients with the sauce for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange and bake the chicken mixture: Spread the coated chicken and vegetable mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Place it in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  5. Add pineapple and continue baking: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly distribute the pineapple chunks over the top of the chicken and vegetables. Return the sheet pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  6. Garnish and serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Drizzle fresh lime juice over the baked chicken mixture, then sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro on top. Serve warm and enjoy your vibrant Hawaiian chicken dish.

Notes

  • Use fresh pineapple chunks if possible for better texture and flavor, but canned pineapple works well if drained properly.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking that its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • The recipe can be made dairy-free by using the suggested Primal Kitchen BBQ sauce or any gluten-free Hawaiian barbecue sauce.
  • Feel free to customize the vegetables—adding mushrooms or zucchini can bring extra nutrition and variety.
  • This sheet pan recipe is perfect for meal prep and reheats well in the oven or microwave.
