Cuisine: American

Recipe type: Main dish

Ingredients

⅓ cup soy sauce (preferably low sodium)
4-5 tbsp honey
4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp sesame oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
¾ tsp ground ginger
½ tbsp cornstarch
4 tbsp water
salt and pepper to taste
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 cups broccoli florets
1 cup carrots, sliced
green onions (optional)
sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

Whisk together the soy sauce, honey, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ground ginger, cornstarch and and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and let thicken. Make sure to stir so the sauce doesn't burn. Once thickened, remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Spray with cooking oil so the ingredients don't stick to the pan.
Add the chicken to the baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. Drizzle 1-2 spoonfuls of glaze on each piece and place in preheated oven for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle more glaze on each breast.
Arrange the broccoli and carrots around the chicken. Season veggies with salt and pepper and drizzle more of the glaze over top.
Place pan in oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and serve with remaining sauce.
Enjoy the chicken and veggies as is, or you can serve them over rice or quinoa. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy!
