Create a flavorful, sticky, and savory honey garlic chicken and broccoli dinner using just one pan for simple cleanup. This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the chicken in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Toss the broccoli florets with a drizzle of olive oil and spread them on the other half of the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes while you prepare the sauce.
  5. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and ginger over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Whisk the cornstarch slurry into the simmering sauce until it thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and half over the broccoli. Toss gently on the pan to coat.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F) and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  9. Remove from the oven. Drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For a low carb chicken broccoli dinner, serve this over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice or noodles.
  • If you prefer a stovetop method, cook the chicken first in a large skillet, remove it, then sauté the broccoli, and combine everything with the sauce at the end.
  • This recipe works well with chicken thighs if you prefer darker meat.
