Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat 1.5 pounds boneless chicken thighs dry. In a bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon minced garlic, and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger. Brush 1/4 of the mixture over chicken and set aside.
  2. Step 2: On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 1.5 pounds mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini, cut into 1-inch pieces) with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  3. Step 3: Arrange marinated chicken thighs on top of vegetables. Brush with remaining sauce. Roast for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
  4. Step 4: Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with any pan juices for extra flavor.
