Instructions
The Sauce
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, flour, and water until combined. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens and is bubbling, around 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. Be sure the sauce is not too thinned out as it will not stay on the ingredients when in the oven.
For the Chicken and Vegetables
- Heat oven to 400°F.
- On a large lined sheet pan, toss the chicken, bell pepper, broccoli, and cashews in 75% of the sauce.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, stirring at the halfway mark.
- Remove the pan from oven and toss with remaining sauce before serving.
