This honey garlic sheet pan chicken meal prep recipe is perfect for a quick and healthy dinner, featuring roasted chicken and vegetables with a sweet and savory flavor.
Equipment
- 1 sheet pan lined with parchment paper
- 1 mixing bowl for marinade
- 1 measuring spoon
Ingredients
Chicken and Marinade
- 1 1/2 pounds chicken thighs boneless and skinless
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Vegetables
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 1 cup baby carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, and olive oil. Add the chicken thighs to the bowl, ensuring they are well coated with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a separate bowl, toss the broccoli florets, sliced red bell pepper, and baby carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
- Place the sheet pan with vegetables in the preheated oven and roast for 10 minutes to give them a head start before adding the chicken.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven and arrange the marinated chicken thighs among the partially roasted vegetables. Pour any remaining marinade over the chicken for added flavor.
- Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for an additional 25-30 minutes. Check that the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to retain its juices. Serve the chicken and vegetables hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serving
- Pair the honey garlic chicken and roasted vegetables with a side of steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. A crisp green salad makes an excellent accompaniment.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
