Sheet Pan Pineapple Chicken is a delicious sweet and spicy Whole30 one-pan meal. To make this simple sheet pan chicken just prep your ingredients and pop the pan in the oven.
Sheet Pan Pineapple Chicken is a quick and easy Whole30 dinner.
When I am on the Whole30 I am constantly in search of easy weeknight dinners. Sheet pan meals are the easiest of them all. I just chop up my ingredients, toss them in seasoning or a sauce and bake!
This Whole30 sheet pan chicken recipe is flavorful without being overly complicated. Start with some canned pineapple, bell peppers, and chicken breast. Then, mix together the sweet and spicy sauce. Finally, toss it all together and pop it into the oven to bake.
After the sheet pan pineapple chicken bakes, I like to garnish it with some green onion and serve it with cauliflower rice. If you are not on the Whole30, this dish is delicious with regular rice. I have been cooking fluffy white rice in my Instant Pot!
