A quick and easy 30-minute one-pan dinner featuring crispy teriyaki chicken and fresh crunchy vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas or snow peas, trimmed
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1 tsp cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: Cut chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, slice veggies, mince garlic, and grate ginger. Mix soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small bowl.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add chicken pieces in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until golden and crispy on one side. Flip and cook another 3 minutes until mostly cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Cook carrots and broccoli for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add bell peppers and snap peas, cooking for another 2 minutes until veggies are crisp-tender.
  5. Return chicken to the pan with veggies. Stir cornstarch slurry into the teriyaki sauce mixture, pour over everything, and toss to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes until sauce thickens and clings to chicken and veggies.
  6. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure chicken crisps properly. Pat chicken dry before cooking. Use medium-high heat and let chicken cook undisturbed to develop a golden crust. Add cornstarch slurry last to thicken sauce. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Vegetables can be swapped based on season or preference.
