Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Pat 12 oz boneless chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then season with 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1 cup broccoli florets, 1/2 cup carrot sticks, and 1/2 cup red bell pepper strips with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and a pinch of salt in a large oven-safe skillet.
  3. Step 3: Place chicken thighs on top of the vegetables. Whisk together 2 tbsp honey and 1 tbsp soy sauce, then drizzle evenly over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Step 4: Bake uncovered for 20-22 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are tender with slightly caramelized edges, basting once halfway through with the pan juices.
