Teriyaki Chicken Sheet Pan Supper Recipe
Yields: 8 servings
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch asparagus, ends trimmed, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 8 green onions, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
- 1 head broccoli, cut into small florets
- 12 multicolor mini peppers, stemmed and halved lengthwise
- 1 large red onion, cut into large chunks
- 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce (12 ounces)
- 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- Zest of 1 lime
- Sesame seeds, for garnish
- Cilantro leaves, for garnish
Equipment:
- Large Pioneer Woman Cooking Pan (Sheet Pan)
- Foil for lining (optional, for easier cleanup)
- Two small bowls
- Pastry brush
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line your Pioneer Woman cooking pan with foil for easier cleanup if desired.
- Arrange all the prepared vegetables – asparagus, green onions, broccoli florets, mini peppers, and red onion chunks – on the Pioneer Woman cooking pan. Drizzle ¾ cup of teriyaki sauce over the vegetables.
- Toss the vegetables directly on the sheet pan to ensure they are evenly coated with the teriyaki sauce.
- Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs on top of the bed of vegetables, distributing them evenly across the pan.
- Pour the remaining ¾ cup of teriyaki sauce into two separate small bowls, dividing it equally. Use a pastry brush to generously brush the chicken thighs with the teriyaki sauce from one of the bowls.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. While the chicken is baking, wash the pastry brush you used.
- After 15 minutes, remove the Pioneer Woman cooking pan from the oven. Using the clean pastry brush, brush the chicken again with the teriyaki sauce from the second bowl. Turn on your oven broiler.
- Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the teriyaki sauce begins to caramelize and create slightly charred edges on the chicken. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Zest the lime directly over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring even distribution.
- Sprinkle sesame seeds and fresh cilantro leaves over the entire dish for garnish.
- Divide the Teriyaki Chicken Sheet Pan Supper onto plates and serve immediately. Enjoy this flavorful and easy meal, made simple with your Pioneer Woman cooking pan!
