Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (boneless optional)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 grams)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (45 ml) or tamari for gluten-free
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar (15 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch (3 grams)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat chicken thighs dry and season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme if using.
  4. Toss baby potatoes, carrots, broccoli, and red bell pepper with olive oil and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
  5. Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Place chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  6. Add vegetables to the skillet, spreading evenly. Pour half the honey garlic sauce over veggies and stir gently to coat.
  7. Return chicken to skillet, skin-side up, on top of vegetables. Pour remaining sauce over chicken and veggies.
  8. Transfer skillet to oven and roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
  9. For extra glaze, switch oven to broil and cook for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Dry chicken skin thoroughly for crispiness. If sauce is too thin before broiling, mix more cornstarch with cold water and drizzle over. Add broccoli halfway through roasting for softer texture. Can substitute chicken breasts or turkey thighs with adjusted cooking times. For gluten-free, use tamari instead of soy sauce. Optional red pepper flakes add heat.
