Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups baby carrots (or regular carrots cut into sticks)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Set aside.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and lightly salt both sides.
  4. In a large oven-safe skillet, place the chicken thighs skin-side up in the center. Scatter the baby carrots, broccoli florets, and red bell pepper slices around the chicken.
  5. Drizzle half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and veggies, tossing the vegetables gently to coat.
  6. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
  7. Halfway through, baste the chicken with the pan juices and drizzle the remaining sauce over the veggies. Use tongs to turn the vegetables so they roast evenly.
  8. Check that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and that the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. Roast an additional 5-7 minutes if needed.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  10. Spoon the pan sauce over the chicken and vegetables for extra flavor.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before cooking for crispier skin. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy vegetables. Add honey garlic sauce in two stages to prevent burning. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to 165°F. Tent with foil if vegetables brown too quickly. Pre-cut veggies can speed preparation but fresh chopped tastes best.
