Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon of avocado oil
  • 1-1 1/2 lbs of diced chicken breast or boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/2 medium red onion, cut into sizeable pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup of diced pineapple
  • 1/2 cup of Primal Kitchen Foods Hawaiian BBQ Sauce, plus extra for drizzling
  • 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
  • 1 of lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon of finely grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • Fresh cilantro and white sesame seeds for garnish

Method
 

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). It’s like getting the stage set for a fantastic show. A hot oven guarantees a good roast.
Step 2: Prep Your Chicken and Veggies
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken breast with avocado oil, BBQ sauce, ginger, lime juice, honey, and sea salt. Toss everything until the chicken is well coated. The honey adds a nice depth while the ginger kicks in a fresh bite.
    Next, chop your veggies. The more colorful your plate, the more appealing it looks—and who doesn’t love to eat with their eyes first? Toss the red onion, red bell pepper, orange bell pepper, and pineapple pieces into the bowl. A vibrant mix is about to happen!
Step 3: Arrange on the Pan
  1. Spread the chicken and veggie mixture evenly across a large sheet pan. This is where you become the culinary artist, ensuring a colorful layout. Don't overcrowd the pan; give everything a bit of space to breathe and roast nicely.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
  1. Place the filled sheet pan into the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes. This is the time to let the flavors mingle and the edges caramelize. The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, teasing your taste buds.
Step 5: Garnish and Serve
  1. Once your chicken and veggies are golden and cooked through, pull the pan from the oven. Drizzle some extra BBQ sauce on it for that added layer of flavor. Top with fresh cilantro and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Voilà! You’ve created a dish that looks like it came from a restaurant, all from the comfort of your kitchen.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Opt for fresh ginger and quality BBQ sauce. A homemade sauce could give it an extra boost if you’re up for it.
  • Marinate Ahead: If you have the time, marinate the chicken for a couple of hours before cooking. This intensifies the flavors wonderfully.
  • Veggie Substitutions: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables. Snap peas or zucchini can elevate the dish’s crunch.
  • Make it Spicy: For those who like it hot, add some red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños to the mix.
  • Double the Recipe: Cooking for a crowd? Make a double batch! This dish reheats beautifully for leftovers.
