A quick and healthy one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken thighs and crisp-tender vegetables coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 700g)
  • 3 medium carrots, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 150g)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ cup honey (85g)
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce (60ml)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar (30ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
  • Ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced carrots, broccoli florets, and red bell pepper with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, combine honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir until well blended.
  4. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is golden brown and crisp. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange the prepared vegetables around the chicken in the skillet. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, coating them well.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring the vegetables gently at the 15-minute mark. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and sauce thickens into a sticky glaze.
  7. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Spoon some pan sauce over chicken and vegetables before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming vegetables. Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness (165°F/74°C). Stir vegetables halfway through roasting for even cooking. If glaze is too runny, reduce on stove briefly. If skillet is not oven-safe, transfer to baking dish after searing.
