A quick and fuss-free sheet pan dinner featuring crispy skin-on chicken thighs and perfectly roasted broccoli with a homemade teriyaki glaze. Perfect for weeknight dinners with minimal prep and cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets (about 360 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce (60 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to fully heat for at least 15 minutes.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  3. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with water until smooth, then stir into the sauce mixture. Set aside.
  4. Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place skin-side up on a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  5. Brush or spoon about half of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken, coating lightly.
  6. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Spread around the chicken on the sheet pan without crowding.
  7. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove pan, flip chicken so skin side is down, toss broccoli, and brush chicken with remaining teriyaki sauce.
  9. Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and broccoli is tender with crispy edges.
  10. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  11. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to ensure crispy skin. Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming. Flipping chicken halfway through cooking helps even crispiness. Broiling at the end is optional but enhances caramelization. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Frozen broccoli can be used if thawed and patted dry. Leftovers can be reheated in a hot oven to restore crispiness.
