# 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 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

→ Garnish

15 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
16 - 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds, optional
17 - Cooked rice or quinoa, to serve, optional

# How to Make:

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 with sauce and toss to coat evenly. 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 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 rice or quinoa if desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The cleanup is literally one pan, which means you can actually relax after dinner instead of standing at the sink
  • That honey garlic glaze gets into every single vegetable, making even the asparagus taste like something you would order at a restaurant
02 -
  • Do not crowd the pan or your vegetables will steam instead of roast, and you will miss out on all those delicious crispy bits
  • That sauce thickens fast in the oven, so give everything a good toss halfway through to prevent burning
03 -
  • A pinch of red pepper flakes in the sauce adds just enough heat to make things interesting without overpowering the honey
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep this gluten-free without sacrificing any of that umami flavor
