Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Chicken & Veg (Print Version)

Bite-sized chicken and spring vegetables roasted in a sweet-savory honey garlic glaze on a single sheet pan.

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 1.1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 red bell pepper, sliced
03 - 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
04 - 5 oz sugar snap peas, trimmed
05 - 5 oz asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
06 - 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
07 - 7 oz baby carrots, halved lengthwise

→ Sauce

08 - 4 tablespoons honey
09 - 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
10 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
11 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
12 - 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
13 - 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
14 - ½ teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
16 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, optional

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easier cleanup.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, ginger, vinegar, and black pepper until well combined.
03 - Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
04 - Arrange all vegetables and chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle any remaining sauce over everything and toss gently to combine.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if using. Serve hot with rice or quinoa if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Cleanup takes literally two minutes because everything cooks on one pan
  • The sauce creates this gorgeous sticky glaze that makes the chicken taste restaurant-quality
  • You can prep everything in advance and just pop it in the oven when you are ready
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or everything will steam instead of roast, use two pans if necessary
  • The honey burns easily, so keep an eye on things during those last few minutes
  • Letting the chicken marinate for even 10 minutes makes a huge difference in flavor
03 -
  • Toss the vegetables and chicken halfway through cooking so everything roasts evenly
  • If you want it spicy, add red pepper flakes to the sauce mixture
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep it gluten-free
