One-Pan Honey Garlic Chicken and Veggies
This recipe is a simple and flavorful way to get a complete meal on the table with minimal cleanup. The chicken gets crispy and tender, while the vegetables roast to perfection.
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breasts, if preferred)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 broccoli crown, cut into florets
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
Cooking Guide:
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, thyme, and black pepper.
- Add chicken pieces to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade.
- Arrange chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Scatter the bell peppers, onion, and broccoli florets around the chicken.
- Pour the diced tomatoes with their juices over the vegetables.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, if desired, for crispier chicken skin.
Tips:
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- You can substitute other vegetables for the bell peppers, onion, and broccoli, such as Brussels sprouts, asparagus, or zucchini. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time depending on the vegetable’s hardness.
- If your chicken breasts are thick, you may need to pound them thin before marinating to ensure even cooking.
- To test if the chicken is cooked through, pierce it with a fork. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- Serve this dish with rice, quinoa, or roasted potatoes for a complete meal.
