Bring a splash of warm, salty sea air into your kitchen with this super easy, meal preppable coconut chicken sheet pan meal!
This is a crazy simple recipe that kids and grown-ups love.
The sauce is made with creamy coconut milk, lime juice, ginger, and brown sugar. It cooks down over the ingredients on a single sheet pan, pairing so well with the bright, sweet flavors of pineapple, carrots, and broccoli.
The prep couldn’t be easier, also: Just combine all the ingredients together ina big bag or container and “smush” or stir to mix well.
Then, let the chicken marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days- it’ll help seep that extra flavor right into the ingredients!
But you want to know my favorite part of this easy sheet pan meal? Best part? It freezes GREAT. I don’t even cook it beforehand; I’ll just combine everything together in the bag, toss it in the freezer, and pull it out to cook when I need something quick and tasty for dinner.

This coconut chicken sheet pan meal goes great with a side of rice; I like going the easy route and serving it with one of those boxed mixed-grain rice blends. Maybe add in some rolls and a leafy salad and dinner is served.
