Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Add the chicken, broccoli, bell peppers, and red onion to the sheet pan.
Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with Kinder’s Buttery Garlic seasoning, ground ginger, and black pepper; toss until evenly coated.
Pour the orange sauce, honey, and soy sauce over the chicken and vegetables, tossing again until all are coated.
Spread the chicken and vegetables into an even layer.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Broil for a few minutes at the end, watching closely, until the edges are lightly caramelized.
Top with sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired, and serve over white or fried rice.
Tips for the Best Results
- Make sure to cut the chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.
- Toss the veggies and chicken halfway through baking for the best texture.
- If you want extra caramelization, broil for a little longer, but keep an eye on it!
Variations & Substitutions
- Swap the chicken for shrimp or tofu for a different protein.
- Add snap peas or carrots for more veggies.
- Use a different sauce, like teriyaki, for a flavor twist.
Storing Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can freeze the cooked chicken and veggies for up to 2 months.
Reheating
Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes until heated through, or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until hot.
