Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Chicken & Veg (Print Version)

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

# What You 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

# Directions:

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 in sauce. 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 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender with light caramelization.
06 - Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if using. Serve hot with rice or quinoa if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, so cleanup is almost nonexistent and you can actually relax after dinner
  • The honey garlic sauce caramelizes beautifully in the oven, creating those sticky, sweet edges that make everyone reach for seconds
02 -
  • Crowding the pan will steam everything instead of roasting it, so use two pans if yours looks crowded
  • The sauce will bubble and intensify in the oven, so resist the urge to add more honey before roasting
03 -
  • Cut all your vegetables and chicken into similar sizes so everything finishes cooking at the same time
  • Let the sheet pan rest for about five minutes after roasting to let the sauce thicken slightly
