You’ll love the ease of this simple Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken and Broccoli dinner! Chicken with a honey garlic sesame glaze baked with broccoli comes together in one pan and less than 30 minutes. Healthy, delicious, and so easy!
One pan dinners for the win!
Nothing makes dinnertime more simple than a one pan meal in less than 30 minutes! These days I am all about fewer dishes. As a nutritionist, I also love my meals to be complete with a veggies and fiber, protein, antioxidants, and a healthy fat. We’re including all of these elements in the tastiest way possible with this sheet pan honey garlic sesame chicken! I’ve added broccoli to this recipe for its texture and how easily it works in almost anything. If you love broccoli too, you’ll enjoy these recipes.
I’ve been cranking out some more one pan dinners that make life a little ALOT easier for you!! For me too. I spent every night of last week at the baseball fields, and the one night we had off, the hubs and I went to a Chris Stapleton concert. And in case you were wondering, he was absolutely AMAZING!!!! You know what else was amazing?!?! This Sheet Pan Dinner…..
How to make Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Sesame Chicken:
- We start by creating a super simple awesome sauce: honey, coconut aminos (or soy sauce), garlic, and a splash of vinegar for tang.
- Marinate the chicken for about 20 minutes. This would actually be easy to do early in the morning, and then let the chicken marinate all day. But, if you are short on time, 20 minutes is fine!
- Spread out the chicken with some broccoli and carrots (my kids favorite), and drizzle some extra oil and garlic on the veggies.
- Bake for 20-22 minutes at 375 degrees F
- While the dinner is baking, place remaining marinade in a saucepan. Bring to a low boil for 3-4 minutes. Serve on top of chicken when ready!
Serving and Storing:
The leftover marinade is boiled for a few minutes for extra sauce on top of the chicken and veggies. The more sauce the better! Top the chicken and veggie mixture with sesame seeds, and serve over rice or cauliflower rice for a super easy dinner. My personal favorite for this recipe is Coconut Lime Cauliflower Rice.
For meal prep: make this on a weekend and store in large container (or smaller containers). If using cauliflower rice, store separately (it can get mushy). Re-heat by placing in the microwave for 2-3 minutes.

Thanks for a healthy, easy and quick recipe. So often recipes instruct us to throw out the marinade but your idea to boil it to use as a sauce is excellent . I doubled the sauce because I like lots of sauce.
Tried this recipe and it worked great! Will definitely make again!
Great easy recipe! 1 question, do you mince the garlic or keep cloves whole?
Minced!
My family loves this meal! Especially me since it was so easy to prepare and leftovers were delicious. We have a family of 3, so it was dinner for us and lunch for me the next day. The flavors were spot on, and I loved that the marinade becomes the sauce, brilliant! Thanks so much.
I thought this recipe may be too simple to be so good! It was fantastic! My entire family loved it-) I didn’t change one thing – and now I have another easy and delicious dish for my weeknight meal rotations.
Would love to see service size and nutrition information.
