Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breasts or thighs cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Black pepper and chile flakes
- 1/4 cup flour or gluten-free flour
- 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cups broccoli florets or chopped asparagus
- Sesame seeds for serving
- 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 6 cloves garlic grated
- 3-4 tablespoons chili paste (gochujang)
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken cubes, garlic powder, black pepper, and chile flakes. Add the flour and toss until the chicken is well coated.
- Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss again to evenly coat. Spread the chicken out on one side of the baking sheet.
- Place broccoli or asparagus on the other side of the sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and veggies are tender-crisp.
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together tamari, lemon juice, honey, grated garlic, gochujang, green onion, and sesame oil.
- Remove the veggies from the sheet pan once done, and pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken. Toss to coat well, then return the chicken to the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Garnish with sesame seeds and additional green onions. Serve over rice, cauliflower rice, or enjoy on its own!
