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

→ Garnish

15 - 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
16 - 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds, optional

# How to Make It:

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. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro and toasted sesame seeds if using.
07 - Serve hot with rice or quinoa if desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything roasts on one pan so cleanup takes literally two minutes
  • The honey garlic glaze gets sticky and caramelized in all the right places
  • You can swap whatever vegetables are languishing in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Dont crowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of roast
  • Letting the chicken marinate for even ten minutes makes a noticeable difference
  • The sauce will thicken and become glossy as it roasts
03 -
  • Cut all vegetables to similar sizes so they finish cooking at the same time
  • Use chicken thighs for juicier results or breasts for leaner protein
