Hawaiian BBQ CHicken
This dish combines the sweetness of pineapple and BBQ sauce with the savory flavors of chipotle, making it an easy and delightful summer meal!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup low-sugar BBQ sauce (OKB BBQ sauce)
1 lime, juiced
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder
3 bell peppers (variety of colors), sliced
1 large red onion, sliced
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Mix the low-sugar BBQ sauce, lime juice, and chipotle powder in a small bowl. Place the chicken breasts in a shallow dish and coat with half of the BBQ sauce mixture, ensuring the chicken is well-coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
While the chicken is marinating, combine the bell peppers, red onion, and pineapple chunks in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Spread the vegetable and pineapple mixture evenly on a large sheet pan. Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade and place them on the vegetables.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the remaining BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken breasts. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
