Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 cooking spray or parchment paper
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 knife and cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • ¼ cup teriyaki sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds Sprinkle during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced For garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray for easy cleanup.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the teriyaki sauce, minced ginger, sesame oil, honey, garlic, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add the chicken thighs to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly in the marinade. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes (or up to 30 minutes for more flavor).
  • While the chicken is marinating, prepare the broccoli florets. Place them in a separate mixing bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Arrange the marinated chicken thighs on one side of the prepared sheet pan. Spread the broccoli florets on the other side of the pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C) and the broccoli is tender and slightly crispy.
  • In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the sesame seeds over both the chicken and broccoli for added crunch and flavor.
  • Once done, remove the pan from the oven and garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes to the chicken marinade.
You can use chicken breasts instead of thighs if you prefer a leaner option. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Consider serving this dish with brown rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
