Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 piece red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas

Sauce Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Toppings

  • 2 pieces green onions, sliced
  • Sesame seeds (for sprinkling)

Method

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
  • In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces, broccoli, red bell pepper, and snap peas. Pour the sauce over the mixture and toss to coat everything evenly.

Cooking

  • Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on a large sheet pan. Make sure they’re not overcrowded for even cooking.
  • Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and slightly caramelized. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Finishing

  • Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle with roasted cashews and sliced green onions. If desired, add a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
