Sheet Pan Orange Sesame Chicken with Brocolli

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts, cut into chunks
  • 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1⁄2 C orange juice
  • 1⁄4 C soy sauce
  • 3 Tbs honey
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 Tbs grated fresh ginger
  • 1 Tbs sesame oil
  • 1 Tbs cornstarch

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly grease a large rimmed sheet pan.
  2. Arrange the chicken chunks and broccoli florets on the pan.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, and cornstarch until smooth.
  4. Pour the sauce over the chicken and broccoli and toss well to coat. Spread everything into an even layer, keeping the chicken pieces separated as much as possible.
  5. Roast for 20–25 minutes, tossing halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the broccoli is tender with lightly browned edges.
  6. For a stickier glaze, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end. Toss everything in the thickened pan sauce before serving.
