Bite-sized chicken and fresh vegetables roasted on one pan in sweet-savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect for busy weeknights.

# 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)

# Cooking Steps:

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 thoroughly in sauce. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
04 - Spread 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 the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
06 - Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds, if using.
07 - Serve hot, with cooked rice or quinoa if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan so you can Netflix guilt-free while it roasts
  • The honey garlic sauce becomes this gorgeous glaze that makes everything taste intentional
  • Leftovers (if they exist) reheat beautifully for tomorrow's lunch
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast, use two pans if necessary
  • The sauce will burn if your oven runs hot, so check at 15 minutes the first time you make it
  • Snap peas cook faster than carrots, so cut your vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking
03 -
  • Line your sheet pan with foil first, then parchment paper, for virtually cleanup-free cooking
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet to catch any bubbling sauce before it drips in your oven
  • Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices redistribute
