Sweet Chili Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Description
Sweet Chili Roasted Chicken and Vegetables combines chicken breast pieces with fresh broccoli, cauliflower florets, and sliced carrots tossed in olive oil and seasoned with black pepper. The mixture is coated with sweet chili sauce, imparting a balance of mild heat and sweetness.
Roasting at 425°F concentrates flavors through caramelization, rendering chicken juicy and vegetables tender with slight crispness. The addition of sweet chili sauce both before and after roasting enhances glaze and taste complexity.
This dish serves well as a simple, all-in-one dinner or lunch option offering protein and a variety of vegetables. It is convenient to prepare and can be stored refrigerated for several days or frozen for longer keeping.
Ingredients
- 1.25 pounds chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces, boneless skinless
- 3 cups broccoli florets
- 3 cups cauliflower florets
- 2 carrot sliced into 1/4-inch rounds on the bias, large
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon black pepper or to taste, freshly ground
- 10- ounces sweet chili sauce or as desired; divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F. If you have a convection oven, use it; if not a conventional oven is fine.
- Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil for easier cleanup and to it add the chicken, vegetables, evenly drizzle with olive oil, season with pepper, evenly drizzle with 3/4 of the chili sauce, toss with your hands to combine, and roast for about 14-15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender. If baking in a conventional oven, you may need to bake slightly longer, 17-18 minutes, but watch your food and not the clock.
- Evenly drizzle with the remaining chili sauce, if desired, and serve immediately. Recipe will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months.
