Description
A foolproof, one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken thighs and roasted vegetables tossed in a sweet and savory teriyaki glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (divided)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (optional)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, sliced into coins
- 1 medium onion, sliced into wedges
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large 18×13 inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch until lightly coated.
- Add minced garlic and 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce to the chicken. Toss to coat and let sit while chopping vegetables.
- Chop broccoli, bell peppers, carrots, and onion into uniform sizes. Spread chicken in a single layer on one half of the sheet pan.
- Spread vegetables on the other half of the pan. Drizzle remaining 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce over vegetables and toss to coat. Sprinkle with black pepper.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Remove pan, flip chicken pieces, and stir vegetables. Return to oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and vegetables are tender.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and green onions. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Notes
Do not crowd the pan to ensure vegetables roast instead of steam. Chicken thighs are recommended over breasts for juiciness. Toast sesame seeds in a dry pan for 2 minutes for better flavor. If sauce is watery, mix 1 tsp cornstarch with 1 tbsp water before adding to chicken.
