Honey Garlic Chicken Veg (Printable Version)

Tender chicken bites and spring vegetables roasted in a glossy honey garlic glaze for a vibrant meal.

# What You'll 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 tbsp honey
09 - 3 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
10 - 2 tbsp olive oil
11 - 3 garlic cloves, minced
12 - 1 tbsp rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar
13 - 1 tsp freshly grated ginger
14 - ½ tsp black pepper

→ Garnish

15 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
16 - 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
17 - Cooked rice or quinoa, to serve (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil to facilitate cleanup.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, vinegar, and black pepper until combined.
03 - Add the chicken pieces to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes if time permits.
04 - Spread the chicken and all vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle any remaining sauce over and gently toss to combine.
05 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender with slight caramelization.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot, accompanied by rice or quinoa if preferred.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan so cleanup is literally just crumpling up some foil
  • The sauce caramelizes into this gorgeous sticky coating that makes even basic vegetables taste incredible
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan or everything will steam instead of roast and you will miss that caramelization
  • Stir halfway through or the vegetables touching the pan will get too dark while others stay undercooked
03 -
  • Prep your vegetables while the oven preheats so you can slide everything in as soon as it is ready
  • Let the pan rest for 5 minutes before serving so the sauce thickens slightly
