Ingredients

Scale

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 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 Oven and Prepare Sheet Pan: 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 bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, coriander powder, ginger powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to create the marinade. Add the cubed chicken breasts to the bowl and toss until each piece is thoroughly coated with the spice mixture.
  3. Add Vegetables and BBQ Sauce: Add the diced red, yellow, and green bell peppers along with the red onion chunks to the bowl. Pour in the Hawaiian-style BBQ sauce. Use your hands or a spoon to mix everything thoroughly, ensuring all chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
  4. Bake Chicken and Vegetables: Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in a single even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  5. Add Pineapple and Continue Baking: After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and evenly scatter the pineapple chunks over the chicken and vegetables. Return the sheet to the oven and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and drizzle fresh lime juice over the dish. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped cilantro on top for added flavor and presentation. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use Primal Kitchen Hawaiian-style BBQ sauce or a similar dairy-free brand.
  • Make sure to drain canned pineapple chunks well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Cut chicken and vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking.
  • You can adjust spice levels by adding chili flakes or fresh ginger if desired.
  • Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
