Prepare a flavorful, quick weeknight dinner using this one-pan recipe for honey soy glazed chicken and mixed vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup snow peas
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch mixed with 1 tablespoon cold water (slurry)
  • Optional: Sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the cut chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the broccoli and bell pepper to the same skillet. Cook for 3 minutes until they start to soften. Add the snow peas and cook for 1 more minute. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set aside with the chicken.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil. Pour this mixture into the empty skillet.
  5. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Let it bubble for 1 minute.
  6. Whisk the cornstarch slurry again and pour it slowly into the simmering sauce while stirring. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens into a glaze, about 1 minute.
  7. Return the cooked chicken and all the vegetables to the skillet. Toss everything gently to coat evenly with the honey soy glaze.
  8. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is fully heated through and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

  • Serve this skillet meal over steamed white or brown rice for a complete dinner.
  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in half of the sauce mixture for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer darker meat, use chicken thighs instead of breasts.
