A quick and easy sheet pan dinner featuring juicy honey garlic chicken breasts roasted alongside fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces / 170 grams each)
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 grams)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 cup baby carrots (optional)
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (optional)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, and salt until glossy and fragrant.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
  4. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Place the chicken breasts evenly spaced on the sheet pan.
  6. Scatter the baby carrots, broccoli florets, and sliced red bell pepper around the chicken in a single layer.
  7. Drizzle the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, tossing the veggies lightly to coat.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  9. Carefully flip the chicken breasts using tongs or a spatula and gently toss the veggies to redistribute the sauce.
  10. Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  11. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting and caramelization. Pat chicken dry before applying sauce for better glaze adherence. Flip chicken halfway through cooking for even flavor and doneness. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Tent veggies with foil if they cook faster than chicken to prevent burning. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. For a spicy twist, add sriracha or chili flakes to the sauce.
