Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the Sauce:
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cut chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the seasoned chicken in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. In the same bowl, toss the broccoli florets with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Spread the broccoli on the other half of the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes.
  5. While the chicken and broccoli bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly.
  6. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce. Continue to cook for about 1 minute until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle about two-thirds of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Gently toss everything on the pan to coat evenly.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken and broccoli before serving immediately.

Notes

  • Serve this dish over steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
  • For a slight kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the sauce while it simmers.
  • If you prefer a sheet pan meal without sauce until the end, you can skip the initial drizzle and toss everything with the full sauce amount after removing it from the oven.
