# Ingredient List:

→ 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 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 fully combined.
03 - Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat evenly with sauce. Let marinate for 10 minutes if time allows.
04 - Arrange all vegetables and marinated 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 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 cleanup is practically nonexistent and you can focus on actually enjoying your evening
  • The honey garlic caramelization creates those restaurant-quality edges that make everyone think you spent hours cooking
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the pan or you will end up steaming everything instead of roasting, which completely changes the texture
  • Stirring halfway through is essential for even cooking and ensuring all sides get that beautiful caramelized glaze
03 -
  • Cut all your vegetables into similar sizes so they finish cooking at the same time, preventing some pieces from turning to mush while others stay crunchy
  • Let the sheet pan cool for just a few minutes before serving, as the sauce thickens slightly and becomes even more clingy and delicious
