Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 bell pepper chopped
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • For the sauce section
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup sweet chili sauce (Mae Ploy)
  • 1 tbsp sriracha optional
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds optional

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment if desired.
  2. Prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, sriracha (if using), minced garlic, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth; stir in sesame seeds if using.
  3. Place the cut chicken, broccoli florets, chopped bell pepper, and snap peas on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  4. Drizzle the sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables and toss gently on the sheet with a spatula or tongs to coat.
  5. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring once halfway through if needed for even cooking.
  6. Divide among 4 plates or meal-prep containers and serve with rice or noodles if desired.

Notes

  • Use thawed chicken if previously frozen.
  • Cut chicken into uniform pieces for even cooking.
  • Adjust sriracha to taste for spice level.
  • Optional sesame seeds add a nutty finish.
