Healthy Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken and Vegetables (gluten-free)

Ingredients and substitutions:

For the full ingredient list and exact measurements refer to the recipe card later in this post.

• Chicken - boneless, skinless chicken breasts are used to make this delicious teriyaki chicken stir fry. I prefer to use pasture raised chicken but you can use any type of chicken you prefer.
• Broccoli - I recommend using fresh, rather than frozen broccoli for this recipe.
• Bell peppers - sweet bell peppers add both flavour and color to this recipe. You can use any colour of bell peppers that you prefer including yellow bell peppers, orange bell peppers or red bell peppers.
• Carrots - I recommend using fresh carrots rather than frozen carrots.
• Pineapple - fresh pineapple adds a subtle natural sweetness and flavour to this teriyaki recipe. If you can't find fresh pineapple you can use canned pineapple chunks, just be sure to drain the juice first.
• Coconut aminos - the base of the delicious stir fry sauce on this recipe is coconut aminos. It has a subtle sweet flavour that gives the chicken and veggies so much flavour. Instead of coconut aminos you could use soy sauce or gluten-free tamari.
• Coconut vinegar - this is used to make the sauce on this delicious meal. If you can't find coconut vinegar you could use apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar instead.
• Balsamic vinegar - this helps add a bit of natural sweetness to this chicken recipe and helps tenderize the meat.
• Avocado oil - for making the stir fry sauce for this recipe. You could swap this for olive oil instead.
• Seasonings and spices: sea salt, ground black pepper, ground ginger, and crushed chili flakes (also known as red pepper flakes) add the most amazing flavour to the sauce on this gluten-free teriyaki chicken dish.
• Garlic - If you are sensitive to fresh garlic you could swap this for some garlic infused olive oil instead.
• Honey - honey is used to naturally sweeten the homemade teriyaki sauce on this recipe and keep it refined sugar free. You could swap this for maple syrup instead.
• Green onion - for adding even more flavour to this dish. You could swap this for white onion, yellow onion or sweet onion instead.

How to make sheet pan teriyaki chicken and vegetables:

1. Step 1: First you will make the sauce. To do so add all the sauce ingredients to your high speed blender or food processor.

2. Step 2: Blend the ingredients well until the sauce is smooth and well combined.

3. Step 3: Place the vegetables and pineapple into one bowl and the chopped chicken into another bowl. Pour 2/3 of the sauce over the vegetables and stir well until coated. Then pour the remaining 1/3 of the sauce over the chicken and stir well until coated. Let all the ingredients marinate for 30-60 minutes.

4. Step 4: Then preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Next spread all the ingredients over the baking sheet and spread well until you have an even layer. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are the consistency you desire.

How to serve:

This chicken stir fry is delicious served as is but you could also serve it over white rice, cauliflower rice, or rice noodles. For more flavour and texture you can top this meal with sesame seeds, peanuts, cashews, bean sprouts, fresh cilantro, or sliced avocado.
