Honey Garlic Chicken & Veg (Printable)

Bite-sized chicken and seasonal vegetables roasted on one pan in a sweet-savory honey garlic glaze. Ready in 40 minutes.

# 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 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)

# 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 well combined.
03 - Add chicken pieces to the bowl with sauce and toss to coat thoroughly. Allow to marinate for 10 minutes if time permits.
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 with slight caramelization.
06 - Remove from oven. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot with rice or quinoa if preferred.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The sauce creates this gorgeous sticky glaze that clings to everything, turning ordinary chicken into something crave-worthy
  • Cleanup is exactly one pan and a mixing bowl, which means you can actually relax after dinner instead of facing a sink full of dishes
02 -
  • Crowding the pan is the fastest way to end up with steamed instead of roasted food—give the ingredients some breathing room, or use two pans if you're doubling the recipe
  • The sauce thickens as it cools, so if you're serving this with rice, pour any pan juices over your grains before they disappear
03 -
  • Line your pan with parchment paper instead of foil if you can—the honey-heavy sauce can sometimes stick to foil, and parchment releases everything more cleanly
  • If you're using chicken thighs, try scoring them lightly before marinating so they absorb more flavor and cook evenly
