Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken breasts or tenderloins, cut into ¾–1-inch pieces
- 5–6 cups broccoli florets, well dried
- 2 Tbsp neutral oil, divided
- ¾ tsp kosher salt, divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Sauce:
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- 1 Tbsp orange zest
- 3 Tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2–3 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp chili-garlic sauce or sriracha (to taste)
- 1 Tbsp freshly grated ginger
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- Slurry:
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 Tbsp water
- Finish:
- ½ tsp toasted sesame oil
- sliced scallions and sesame seeds, for garnish
Equipment
- rimmed sheet pan (18×13-inch)
- mixing bowls
- whisk and measuring spoons
- oven mitts
- tongs or spatula
Method
- Place a rimmed sheet pan in the oven and preheat to 450°F (232°C) to heat the pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together all sauce ingredients. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to make a slurry; set aside.
- Toss chicken with 1 tablespoon oil, ½ teaspoon salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the sauce to lightly coat.
- Toss broccoli with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Spread chicken and broccoli evenly on the preheated pan. Roast for 12–15 minutes, until chicken reaches 160–165°F and broccoli is tender-crisp.
- Remove pan and pour remaining sauce over. Stir in the slurry, toss, and return to oven for 2–3 minutes until sauce is bubbly and glossy.
- Finish with sesame oil. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds before serving.
