You deserve a flavorful one-pan honey garlic chicken and broccoli dinner that cooks fast and makes cleanup simple. This recipe delivers sticky, sweet, and savory tastes for a satisfying weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • For the Honey Garlic Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the chicken in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Toss the broccoli florets with a small drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the broccoli on the other half of the baking sheet, keeping it separate from the chicken for now.
  4. Bake for 12 minutes.
  5. While the chicken and broccoli bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  6. Whisk in the cornstarch slurry and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the sesame oil.
  7. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle about half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and toss gently to coat. Leave the broccoli as is for now.
  8. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
  9. Remove the pan from the oven. Add the remaining sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Gently toss everything together right on the pan until evenly coated.
  10. Serve immediately over rice or noodles, or enjoy as a low carb chicken broccoli dinner.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
  • If you want a thicker glaze, use slightly less water in your cornstarch slurry.
  • This recipe works well for meal prep; store the sauce separately if you plan to reheat later to keep the broccoli crisp.
