Ingredients
For the Chicken and Veggies:
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 Lb Baby potatoes, halved
- 1 Lb Baby carrots
- 1 Lb Green beans, trimmed
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Tsp Garlic powder
- 1 Tsp Onion powder
For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- 1/3 Cup Honey
- 1/4 Cup Soy sauce (use low-sodium for a healthier option)
- 2 Tbsp Apple cider vinegar
- 4 Cloves garlic, minced
- 1 Tsp Freshly grated ginger (optional for an extra kick)
- 1/2 Tsp Red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- One Tbsp Cornstarch mixed with two Tbsp water (to thicken)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep:Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Season the Chicken and Veggies:In a large bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.Spread the veggies in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.Nestle the chicken breasts among the vegetables, ensuring everything is evenly spaced.
- Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:In a small saucepan, combine the honey, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.Once simmering, add the cornstarch mixture and continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
- Brush and Bake:Brush half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables.Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the vegetables are tender.Halfway through baking, brush the remaining sauce over the chicken for an extra layer of flavor.
- Broil for a Crispy Finish:For an extra crispy finish, broil the chicken and veggies for 2-3 minutes after baking. Keep a close eye to avoid burning.
- Serve and Enjoy:Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Serve the chicken and veggies on a large platter, drizzling any remaining sauce from the baking sheet over the top.
