Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce, 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tsp smoked paprika to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper, rubbing evenly over the chicken.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, toss 2 cubed medium sweet potatoes, 1 large sliced red bell pepper, and 2 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the vegetables around the chicken thighs on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Step 5: Brush the honey-sriracha glaze generously over the chicken thighs and vegetables.
  6. Step 6: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the chicken and stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. Step 7: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
