A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring crispy chicken thighs glazed with a sticky honey garlic sauce, roasted alongside hearty vegetables for a comforting and delicious dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) honey (mild floral, e.g., Clover)
  • 4–5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
  • Chopped green onions (optional, for garnish)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Add the chicken thighs skin-side down and sear for 5–7 minutes until the skin is golden brown and crisp. Avoid moving them too much.
  5. Flip the chicken and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds, being careful not to burn it.
  7. Add honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine and let the sauce bubble gently for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Add the prepared carrots, broccoli, and red bell pepper to the skillet, tossing to coat them in the sauce and arranging evenly around the pan.
  9. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, placing them skin-side up on top of the vegetables. Spoon a little extra sauce over the chicken.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 18–22 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  12. Sprinkle with chopped green onions and red pepper flakes if using before serving.

Notes

If your pan isn’t oven-safe, transfer everything to a baking dish after searing. Watch garlic closely to avoid burning. If honey sauce thickens too much, add a splash of water to loosen it. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Let chicken rest before serving to keep it juicy. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.
