Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

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
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Large Pot
  • Saucepan
  • Frying Pan
  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. This ensures the chicken cooks evenly and the vegetables roast beautifully, enhancing their flavors.
  2. Make the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, garlic, and ginger. Heat this mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Once boiling, lower the heat and allow the sauce to simmer, whisking occasionally. You want it to thicken up and become bubbly, developing a rich flavor.
  4. When the sauce is ready, remove it from heat and set aside. This will be drizzled over the chicken and vegetables, infusing them with flavor.
  5. Prepare the baking sheet: Spray a large baking sheet with cooking oil to prevent sticking. This makes clean-up easier and ensures everything roasts nicely.
  6. Spread the pieces of chicken and chopped vegetables on the baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer. This allows for even cooking.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t be shy; this is where you add depth to the flavors!
  8. Drizzle half of the sauce over the chicken and veggies. Use a spatula or your hands to toss everything together until well-coated.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Halfway through, take the pan out and give everything a good toss to ensure even cooking.
  10. Once the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, remove the pan from the oven. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish.
  11. Serve over brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Enjoy this delicious Sheet Pan Sesame Chicken and Veggies with your family!
