Instructions

Step 1: Pat 1.5 lbs chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then sear chicken for 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate.
Step 2: Add 2 cups broccoli, 1 cup sliced carrots, and 1 sliced red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften, then stir in 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the vegetables. Transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F and bake for 20 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature.
Step 4: Garnish with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately with extra vegetables.
