Winner Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner

I know I just posted a chicken sheet pan dinner last week, but this Adobo Chicken Sheet Pan with Cauliflower makes the best cauli-rice bowls and it totally different than the Bacon Wrapped Chicken Sheet Pan Recipe from last week. Although, I am totally biased toward sheet pan recipes because of their flavor and ease.

The truth is life is hectic. I am trying to salvage my online business, while navigating the new life and routine post-divorce, living with someone new and co-parenting with Justin. As you know, staying healthy during big changes is hard. My default is to revert to really easy meals like this. Enough about my personal life. Let’s dive into this simple sheet pan dinner recipe!

Simple Ingredients, Amazing Flavor

For Adobo chicken you need ADOBO! Adobo is a Latin American seasoning blend that gives food rich flavor and a lovely yellow color! It’s a mix of turmeric, garlic powder, and black pepper.

I like Loisa Adobo because it’s organic and made without additives.

You’re also going to need some chicken, while I used chicken breasts, you may also use boneless, skinless chicken thighs.

3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs.

The remaining ingredients are very simple vegetables you probably have on hand and you can use what you got. Here’s what I used:

Organic Frozen Cauli-Rice
Broccoli Florets
Red Onion
Parsley or Cilantro

Then I added some topping to complete the meal, but these are totally optional!

Lime wedges
Avocado slices

Adobo Chicken and Cauliflower Rice on a Sheet Pan

This recipe is as simple as dice, season, and roast! It takes no more than 10 minutes to get your Adobo Chicken Sheet Pan ready and less than 30 minutes for it to cook to perfection.

Combine the cauli-rice, minced red onion, diced broccoli, and minced herbs with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil.
Make a whole for the chicken. Season it well with adobo, salt, and pepper and place it in the center, well coated in olive oil.
Roast at 400F until cooked.
Serve your bowls with avocado slices and lime wedges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes, use boneless, skinless chicken whichever you use.

How can I make this AIP compliant?

The only thing you need to replace is the Adobo- make your own mix with salt, garlic powder, and turmeric, equal parts of each. You will need 1 1/2 teaspoons for the recipe.

Any ideas for making this higher in carbs?

Yup! Make 2 cups of cooked white rice and once you finished this recipe, mix the cooked white rice into the cooked cauliflower rice before serving!
