Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs and Vegetables
Description
Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Chicken Thighs and Vegetables begins by marinating chicken thighs in a blend of honey, low sodium soy sauce, sweet Thai chili sauce, garlic powder, and lemon juice for at least 20 minutes or overnight. Broccoli florets and red onion quarters are tossed with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder.
Baking both on separate sheet pans at 400°F for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the chicken and stirring the vegetables halfway through, ensures the chicken becomes tender with a glaze from the marinade while the vegetables roast until tender and lightly caramelized. The combination showcases a harmonious sweet and savory flavor with mild heat and a fresh lemon note.
Served straight from the pan, this dish offers a convenient all-in-one meal with protein and vegetables. The preparation and cooking method make cleanup easier, and marinating enhances the chicken's flavor while maintaining moistness.
