Start with the sauce. Combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer until the sauce is thick and bubbly, about 5 minutes. Spread the chopped chicken and veggies on a sheet pan, season with salt and black pepper, and drizzle half the sauce over. Toss to coat well and bake. Once the chicken and veggies are out of the oven, drizzle the remaining sauce over the top. Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Enjoy!
To make the Sheet Pan Sesame Chicken and Veggies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F.
In a small saucepan on medium heat, add ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sweet chili sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the sauce, whisking occasionally, until thick and bubbly. Remove from the heat.
Spread the chicken breast pieces, chopped broccoli, chopped red bell peppers, and 1 cup green peas on a sheet pan sprayed with cooking spray. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Drizzle half the sauce over the chicken and veggies (reserving the other half for serving) and toss to coat.
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the veggies are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
Drizzle the remaining sauce over the baked chicken and veggies and sprinkle with sesame seeds and green onions.
Serve immediately over quinoa or brown rice if you wish. Enjoy!
