Ingredients
For the sesame sauce
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup orange juice freshly squeezed
- 3 Tbsp. honey
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 tsp. garlic minced
- 1 tsp. rice vinegar
- 1 tsp. white sesame seeds
- 1-2 Tbsp. Chili garlic sauce
- 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
For the chicken and veggies
- 1 lb. chicken breast boneless, skinless, about 2 breasts
- 1 head broccoli chopped into small florets, ~2 cups
- 4 oz. sugar snap peas
- 1 small red bell pepper chopped
- 2 large carrot peeled and sliced on a diagonal
- 1 shallot sliced
- green onion for garnish; for serving
- sesame seed
- rice
- stir fry noodles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a sheet pan with foil and set aside.
- Add all of the sauce ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil then down to a simmer until the sauce thickens, whisking occasionally. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
- Add the chopped veggies and chicken pieces to the prepared sheet pan. Pour 1/4 cup of the sesame sauce over the chicken and veggies and stir to lightly coat everything. You don't want to add too much sauce because it will become watery and the veggies won't roast and get crispy.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken pieces are fully cooked and vegetables are tender and roasted.
- Serve with more sauce and rice. Garnish with green onions and more sesame seeds. Enjoy!
Notes
- Try not to overcrowd the baking sheet to give the ingredients enough separation so that they all roast evenly. If you pile the ingredients on top of each other you will get more of a steamed version of this dinner.
- The variety of vegetables you can use is almost endless and you basically can use whatever you have in your refrigerator: zucchini, asparagus, green beans or Brussels sprouts are all great options.
- Use your favorite store bought sauce to really streamline this meal.
- Storage any leftover in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
