Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs about 6-8 pieces
  • 2 cup fresh pineapple chunks cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large red bell pepper sliced into strips
  • 1 medium red onion cut into wedges
  • 3 tbsp avocado oil divided
  • 2 tbsp fresh ginger grated
  • 2 tbsp lime juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper

Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness. Make-Ahead: You can prep the marinade and chop the vegetables up to 24 hours in advance. Store separately in the fridge. Variations: For a spicier kick, add 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the marinade. You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs, but reduce cooking time to 25-30 minutes. Serving Suggestion: Serve over cauliflower rice or with a side of steamed green beans for a complete Whole30 meal.
