Instructions

Step 1: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then place in a shallow dish.
Step 2: Whisk together 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a bowl.
Step 3: Brush half the glaze over chicken breasts, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to marinate.
Step 4: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sear for 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 5: Transfer skillet to a preheated 400°F (200°C) oven and bake for 12 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) internally.
Step 6: While chicken bakes, toss 2 cups chopped broccoli and 2 cups sliced carrots with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and roast on a sheet pan at 400°F for 15 minutes until tender-crisp.
Step 7: Remove chicken from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sesame seeds. Rest 5 minutes before serving with roasted vegetables.
