Equipment
- Sheet Pan
- Mixing Bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Spatula or tongs
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large head broccoli chopped (about 2 cups)
- 2 medium red bell peppers cut into chunks
- 1 cup snap peas
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup lower-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
- Optional toppings sesame seeds and green onions
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This step is crucial for getting that nice, crispy finish on your chicken and veggies.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the lower-sodium soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Whisk it all together until well blended.
- Add the 1 lb of chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring that they are well coated. Allow them to marinate for at least 15 minutes; the longer, the better for flavor absorption!
- While the chicken marinates, chop the broccoli, cut the red bell peppers into chunks, and prepare the snap peas.
- Spread the marinated chicken evenly on the sheet pan. Add the chopped broccoli, red bell peppers, and snap peas around the chicken. Drizzle any remaining marinade over the veggies.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken and veggies to taste. This will enhance the overall flavors.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F) and the veggies are tender-crisp.
- Once out of the oven, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top for added flavor and a beautiful presentation. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Marinate the chicken for at least 15 minutes to maximize flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the sheet pan to ensure proper roasting and crispiness.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated.
