Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce Adds a savory umami kick to the sticky glaze.
  • 1/4 cup Honey Sweetens and thickens the glaze.
  • 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar Balances the glaze with acidity; can use apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar.
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil Infuses a nutty aroma.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 1 teaspoon Ginger Grated.
  • Red Pepper Flakes Adjust to taste for heat.
For the Vegetables
  • 4 cups Broccoli Florets Chop into bite-sized pieces.
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper Can interchange with any bell pepper.
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil Ensures veggies roast to a golden brown.
For Garnish
  • Sesame Seeds Adds crunch.
  • Green Onions Freshly chopped for garnish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and optional red pepper flakes to make the marinade.
  3. Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring each piece is coated. Let marinate for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Wash and chop the broccoli and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Toss veggies with vegetable oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange the marinated chicken and tossed vegetables on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F and broccoli is tender-crisp.
  7. Switch the oven to broil and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes for caramelization.
  8. Sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the dish before serving.
