Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan Meal – Aloha, Flavor Town! 🌺

Main dish photo — *The finished dish — looks amazing, right?*

Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

So, picture this: I’m in the grocery store, dodging carts like it’s an obstacle course (also, why does everyone grocery shop on a Saturday?!) and I grab a bunch of stuff. You’ll need about 1-1.5 lbs of chicken—thighs or breasts, your call. Then, boom! Two bell peppers, red and orange for that pop of color (and taste, obvi). A half red onion—don’t skip it! And pineapple chunks because who doesn’t love a little Hawaiian sweetness?

Oh, and let’s not forget the star of the show: Primal Kitchen Hawaiian BBQ Sauce—like, this stuff is the real deal. It’s gotta be in your life. Toss in some avocado oil, salt, lime juice, and a sprinkle of cilantro and sesame seeds for garnish, and you’re golden.

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Alright, story time! So, I made this recipe for the first time during a mini staycation (aka, I didn’t want to go out, the couch was calling). I was just experimenting, throwing things together, and when I pulled it out of the oven? OMG, the smell was unreal! My roommate was like, “Are we actually eating that?” And I was like, “Girl, it’s about to change your life.”

Now it’s a staple in our house because it’s quick, and honestly, it tastes like summer! Plus, it’s Whole30 and Paleo, so I can pretend I’m being healthy while stuffing my face. Win-win!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Alright, here’s the scoop: don’t be afraid to really get your hands in there when you mix the chicken and veggies with the sauce. I know, it sounds messy—but it’s so worth it. Like, if you’re not getting a little sauce on your hands, are you even cooking? This is where the magic happens, trust me!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Check that chicken: Bake for 20 minutes, but start checking at 18. Don’t be that person who overcooks it! Yikes.

2. Pineapple placement: Add those chunks after the first bake. It kind of caramelizes and becomes all gooey and delish!

3. Lime juice drama: Squeeze it over right before serving! It brings everything to life, like, you won’t believe the difference.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow have leftovers (doubtful, but just in case!), pop them in an airtight container and stick them in the fridge. They’ll be good for about 3 days. Just reheat in the oven or microwave. I can’t say they’ll be as epic as fresh outta the oven, but they’re still pretty darn good!
