1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
1/2 cup BBQ sauce (store-bought or homemade)

How to Make Hawaiian Chicken Sheet Pan

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle them with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Rub the seasoning into the chicken so it’s well coated.
Add the Veggies and Pineapple: Arrange the sliced bell pepper, red onion, and pineapple chunks around the chicken on the sheet pan.
Glaze with BBQ Sauce: Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the chicken breasts. Make sure the chicken is fully coated.
Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Garnish and Serve: Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve with rice or a side of your choice. 🍍🍚
