Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast diced into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 to 3 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas
  • 1 cup carrot slices from about 3 medium/large carrots, sliced 1/4-inch thick and on the bias
  • 1 medium/large red onion peeled and sliced into bite-sized wedges
  • 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper or to taste
  • Orange slices optional for garnishing
  • Fresh cilantro optional for garnishing

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Spoons
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Spatula or tongs

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help to achieve that perfect caramelization on the chicken and veggies.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Marinade - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, reduced sodium soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, fish sauce, orange zest, orange juice, ground ginger, salt, and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Marinate the Chicken - Add the diced chicken breast to the marinade. Toss until the chicken is well-coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Chop Your Vegetables - While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. Wash and chop the broccoli florets, slice the carrots, and cut the red onion into wedges.
  5. Step 5: Combine Chicken and Vegetables - Once the chicken has marinated, add it to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss everything together until the veggies are coated with the marinade.
  6. Step 6: Arrange on the Baking Sheet - Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a large baking sheet.
  7. Step 7: Roast in the Oven - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
  8. Step 8: Garnish and Serve - Once out of the oven, let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh orange slices and cilantro if desired.
