A quick and delicious sheet pan dinner featuring juicy honey garlic chicken thighs and roasted broccoli, ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights when you need a satisfying meal without the fuss.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs (6–8 thighs)
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 4–5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups broccoli florets (about 1 medium head)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Sesame seeds and sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with the rack in the upper third position.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using) until well combined.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Cut broccoli into uniform florets.
  4. Place chicken and broccoli in a large bowl. Pour about three-quarters of the sauce over them and toss until well coated. Reserve the remaining sauce.
  5. Line a large sheet pan with foil. Arrange chicken and broccoli in a single layer, ensuring nothing overlaps.
  6. Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from oven.
  7. Flip each chicken thigh using tongs. Brush or drizzle the reserved sauce over the chicken and broccoli.
  8. Switch oven to broil (high heat). Return pan to oven and broil for 3-5 minutes, watching carefully, until chicken is deep golden brown and sauce is bubbly and thickened.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
  10. Serve immediately with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for better browning. Watch the broiler carefully to prevent burning. Use room temperature chicken for even cooking. Line pan with foil for easy cleanup. Taste sauce before pouring and adjust sweetness or saltiness as needed.
