Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan Meal (Whole30 and Paleo)
Servings:
I may not like pineapple on my pizza but when it comes to Hawaiian chicken, I am all for it! This Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan is so tasty and full of so much flavor. It’s healthy and filled with veggies. You can serve this recipe with cauliflower rice to keep it low carb, paleo and Whole30 compliant. Or serve it with brown or white rice for a healthy gluten-free meal that also works great for meal prep!

How To Make Sheet Pan Hawaiian Chicken
The great thing about a sheet pan meal is that there’s really not much to it direction wise. “Throw everything on a baking sheet and stick it in the oven” is really all that’s necessary but that doesn’t sound quite as nice on a recipe card does it?
Once you have a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, you can throw all your ingredients (minus the pineapple) together in a mixing bowl, add the Hawaiian BBQ Sauce and use your hands to make sure all your chicken and veggies are coated thoroughly. Add your chicken and veggies to the baking sheet and bake! When your sheet pan is about away cooked you will then add your pineapple before cooking the rest of the way.
Once your sheet pan is out of the oven, that’s when we add the fresh lime juice as well as your garnish of cilantro and sesame seeds. You can serve this meal over white rice, brown rice or cauliflower rice depending on your dietary preferences. Garnish with a little cilantro and some more Hawaiian BBQ sauce for drizzling and you have yourself an easy, healthy meal that is perfect for busy days.
