Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 3 minced garlic cloves until combined and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Place 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs on a large rimmed baking sheet. Brush both sides of the chicken with half of the orange glaze. Toss 4 cups broccoli florets with 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes until evenly coated, then spread around the chicken.
  3. Step 3: Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then brush the chicken with the remaining glaze and roast for another 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and broccoli edges are golden and tender.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep orange juice from drying out.
