Sheet Pan Sticky Ginger Soy Chicken and Broccoli

Sheet Pan Sticky Ginger Soy Chicken and Broccoli

Description

Dinner in minutes! This sticky-sweet ginger soy chicken delivers HUGE flavor with almost zero effort. The sauce caramelizes into a glorious glaze that’ll have everyone asking for seconds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (900g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 large heads broccoli (about 1.5 lbs/680g), cut into florets
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) honey
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons (12g) fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) sriracha or chili garlic sauce (optional for heat)
  • 2 tablespoons (16g) cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) water
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) neutral oil like avocado or vegetable
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha (if using). In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry, then add to the sauce mixture and whisk until smooth.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a large ziplock bag or bowl and pour in about 2/3 of the marinade, reserving the remaining 1/3. Massage the marinade into the chicken and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to 24 hours).
  3. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Toss broccoli florets with neutral oil and a pinch of salt, then spread around the edges of the baking sheet.
  4. Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off, and arrange in the center of the baking sheet surrounded by broccoli. Ensure everything is in a single layer with space between pieces. Bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Remove sheet pan from oven. Brush chicken with half of the reserved sauce and toss broccoli gently. Return to oven for another 10-15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally and broccoli has crispy edges. In the final 2-3 minutes, brush chicken with remaining sauce.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes, then sprinkle with sliced green onions and sesame seeds before serving over rice or noodles if desired.
