Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 red onion, cut into wedges
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp paprika
0.5 tsp garlic powder
0.5 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
For the Hot Honey Glaze:
0.5 cup honey
2 tbsp sriracha (or more, to taste)
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
For Serving:
Cooked rice or quinoa
Chopped fresh cilantro
Toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces, chopped bell peppers, and red onion wedges with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
While the chicken and vegetables are roasting, prepare the hot honey glaze. In a small saucepan, combine honey, sriracha, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and minced garlic. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until well combined and slightly thickened. Do not boil.
Once the chicken and vegetables are done roasting, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the hot honey glaze over the chicken and vegetables and toss gently to coat. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
Serve the hot honey chicken and vegetable mixture over cooked rice or quinoa. Garnish with fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds.
Notes
For a spicier glaze, add more sriracha or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
You can substitute chicken breast for thighs, but adjust cooking time as needed.
Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets or zucchini slices to the sheet pan.
This recipe is excellent for meal prepping. Divide into containers with your chosen grain and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
