A Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan is an easy, flavorful dish that’s perfect for a quick dinner with minimal cleanup! Here’s a simple recipe to make a delicious, WW-friendly Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned in juice, drained)
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 1-2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp ground ginger (optional, for a touch of warmth)
- Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the Marinade:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Add in the pineapple chunks and mix to combine.
- Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, making sure it’s coated well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Sheet Pan:
- Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
- Place the marinated chicken breasts on the sheet pan.
- Surround the chicken with the sliced bell peppers, red onion, and broccoli florets. Drizzle the remaining marinade over the veggies and chicken.
- Roast:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve:
- Once done, garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro (if using). Serve immediately with the roasted veggies and a side of rice or cauliflower rice if desired.
