Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 chicken thighs
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, carrots, broccoli)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the mixture for later.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure proper seasoning and browning. Place chicken thighs in a large mixing bowl and pour the remaining marinade over them, turning to coat evenly.
- Chop mixed vegetables into roughly similar-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking. Spread vegetables on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Arrange marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables, leaving some space between each piece to allow even heat circulation.
- Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the chicken for extra flavor and shine.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley or green onions.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: Marinate the chicken thighs the night before to infuse them with even more flavor. Just store them in the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature before cooking.
- Even Cooking: Cut your vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly. This will help achieve that perfect tender-crisp texture.
- Customize Veggies: Feel free to swap out the mixed vegetables for your favorites! Zucchini, asparagus, or snap peas work wonderfully and add a pop of color.
- Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This ensures your chicken is juicy and safe to eat.
- Leftover Magic: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. They make for a quick and tasty lunch option!
- Garnish for Flair: Don’t skip the garnish! A sprinkle of fresh parsley or green onions adds a burst of color and freshness that elevates the dish.
