Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1.5 lbs) boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 5 cloves, minced garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp (optional) red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 5 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp salt until combined.
- Step 2: Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 2 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt, then spread on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Step 3: Place 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs on the other side of the baking sheet and brush each with half of the honey garlic sauce.
- Step 4: Roast everything in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove and brush chicken with remaining sauce. Toss broccoli and return to oven for an additional 10 minutes until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F) and broccoli edges are tender and slightly crispy.
- Step 5: If desired, sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes over chicken before serving for a mild kick.
