Ingredients
– 1 to 1.5 pounds chicken breast or boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes
– 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 orange bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1/2 red onion, cut into chunks
– 1 cup pineapple chunks
– 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
– 1 tablespoon avocado oil
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– Juice of 1 lime
– Cilantro for garnish
– White sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
1-Getting started: Getting started with sheet pan Hawaiian chicken is simple and fun, beginning with preheating your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper, then giving it a quick spray for easy cleanup. In a mixing bowl, season the chicken cubes with salt, pepper, and avocado oil, ensuring everything is well coated for maximum flavor. Next, add the diced bell peppers, red onion chunks, and BBQ sauce to the bowl, mixing thoroughly so all ingredients are evenly covered.
2-Once mixed, spread the seasoned chicken and vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then carefully add the pineapple chunks to the pan for the final stage. Continue baking for an additional 10 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165ยฐF (74ยฐC), which helps keep it juicy and safe to eat.
3-After baking, remove the sheet from the oven and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the dish for a fresh zing. Finally, garnish with cilantro and white sesame seeds to add a pop of color and texture. This whole process takes about 5 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to cook, totaling just 30 minutes, making it ideal for working professionals and students.
