Create a flavorful, easy weeknight dinner with this one-pan honey garlic chicken and broccoli. It delivers sticky, sweet, and savory tastes with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • Cooked rice or noodles, for serving
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the cut chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of 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 the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the broccoli on the other half of the baking sheet.
  4. Bake the chicken and broccoli for 15 minutes.
  5. While the chicken and broccoli bake, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  6. In a separate small bowl, whisk the cornstarch and water together until smooth to create a slurry. Pour the slurry into the simmering sauce, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens, 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 the other half over the broccoli. Gently toss everything on the pan to coat evenly.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit) and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
  9. Serve the chicken and broccoli immediately over rice or noodles. Drizzle with any remaining sauce from the pan and garnish with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • For a low carb chicken broccoli dinner, skip the rice or noodles and serve this dish as is.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, you can briefly broil the chicken and broccoli for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • This recipe uses chicken breast, but chicken thighs work well too; adjust cooking time slightly if using thicker cuts.
