Ingredients

Scale

Chicken & 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 & Toppings

  • 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)
  • 1 fresh lime (juiced)
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)
  • Cilantro (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a large baking sheet with oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Marinade and Coat Chicken: In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, coriander powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine. Add the cubed chicken breasts and toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the spice mixture.
  3. Add Vegetables and Sauce: Add diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with 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 chicken and vegetables.
  4. Bake and Add Pineapple: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, then evenly distribute the pineapple chunks over the top. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and vegetables are tender.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lime juice. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro over the dish for a fresh, flavorful finish. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Using fresh pineapple chunks adds brightness, but canned pineapple should be drained well to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a dairy-free option, opt for Hawaiian-style BBQ sauces like Primal Kitchen.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • You can adjust the spices and BBQ sauce amount to suit your taste preference for heat and sweetness.
  • Serve with steamed rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
