Why You’ll Love This Recipe

- This recipe keeps wonderfully in the fridge, making for an easy and delicious meal prep for the week. All you have to do is add a carb of your choice, and you’ve got a full meal. I usually pack it with some jasmine rice.
- It’s pretty easy to make. Season the chicken and broccoli and pop it in the oven!
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the Sheet Pan Chicken and Broccoli
- chicken thighs — I use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. If there is moisture on the chicken, pat it dry.
- oil — you’ll need oil for the chicken and broccoli. I use olive oil.
- seasoning — I season the chicken with brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. You’ll need salt and pepper for the broccoli.
- broccoli crowns — I prefer buying broccoli crowns to cut into florets, but you can purchase pre-cut broccoli to reduce your prep time.
For the Sriracha Glaze
- sriracha — for a deliciously spicy kick, I use sriracha.
- honey — I use honey, but if you prefer, you can swap it for maple syrup.
- sesame oil — just a bit. You can use pure sesame oil or toasted sesame oil.
- rice vinegar — this adds a sweet, acidic taste to the sauce.
How to Make Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs and Broccoli
- Heat the oven to 425F.
- To a bowl, add the chicken thighs, oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Toss to combine.
- In another bowl, add the broccoli, oil, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
- Add the chicken thighs to half of a lined sheet pan and broccoli to the other half. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the sriracha, honey, sesame oil, and rice vinegar. Set aside.
- Spoon a couple of spoonfuls of the sriracha glaze onto the chicken at the 20 minute mark if desired, and bake for another 5 minutes. Or, hold off on the sriracha glaze and just drizzle it over the chicken afterward.
- When ready to enjoy, serve the chicken and broccoli with the sriracha glaze.
Recipe Tips and Notes
- Broccoli can be swapped for cauliflower, carrots, asparagus, etc. (Asparagus will take less time to roast!)
- Add extra red chili flakes or sriracha to increase the heat of the glaze.
- This chicken sheet pan meal can be doubled or tripled, just use a larger sheet pan or multiple.
- Chicken thighs are done when they’ve reached an internal temperature of 165F/74C. Use an instant read thermometer to check.
- I like tinfoil for this to make clean up easier. Feel free to just use your sheet pan greased or with parchment paper if you prefer.
- I like to garnish the chicken and broccoli with some green onions and sesame seeds.
- You can save yourself from cleaning another bowl by seasoning and preparing the broccoli first, then use the same bowl for the chicken after.
Make Ahead Tips
- Meal prep: store the cooked meal in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge.
- Freezer: allow the baked chicken thighs to cool before transferring them into an airtight container before storing them in the freezer. They can last for up to 3 months.
