One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken and Veggies
Sheet pan honey garlic chicken and veggies is an easy weeknight dinner that’s perfect for meal prep! Packed with nutrients, protein and lots of flavor, serve this easy dish over rice and enjoy the leftovers for lunch at work.
It’s about 100 degrees outside right now (no lie) and that means I want to turn my stove on as LITTLE as possible.
We pretty much skipped right over spring in Atlanta and went STRAIGHT into summer. Simply put, I’m not a fan.
I hate extreme weather. I hate it when it’s too hot and I hate it when it’s too cold.
In my attempt to avoid the heat, I decided to turn one of my most popular recipes (5 Ingredient Honey Garlic Slow Cooker Chicken) into a sheet pan dinner and it was a hit!
Pretty sure I just need to move out to San Diego where it’s a consistent 70 degrees year-round. Or so I hear?
Sheet pan recipes are the best for busy weeknights, because the entire meal can be made on one pan, they take no time to put together, and less dishes, which means easy cleanup!
They are definitely on the top of my list, but I would have to say stir fries comes next, because you can make them so many different ways by switching up the sauce.
Plus, it’s a healthy meal to use up excess produce if you have it.

How to Make One-Pan Honey Garlic Chicken
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
In a small bowl, make the sweet honey garlic sauce by mixing together the soy and cornstarch until dissolved. Then whisk in the honey and garlic.
Dice the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes. Chop all of the veggies.
Add the cut vegetables to the prepared pan, along with the chicken. Spread it out evenly in a single layer.
Gently stir the sauce and pour over the chicken and veggies.
Bake for 15 minutes, then stir. Continue baking for another 10-12 minutes.
Serve immediately with white, brown, or cauliflower rice. Add sesame seeds for garnish.
Variations
Veggies: feel free to use your favorite veggies. Snow peas (or snap peas) and green beans would also taste delicious.
Chicken: chicken tenders can be used in place of breasts. Some like to use thighs, but I prefer white meat.
Garlic powder: fresh garlic is the best, but you can swap for garlic powder if that’s all you have.
How to Store
Keep leftover honey garlic chicken in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
How to serve honey garlic chicken
We kept it simple and served our honey garlic chicken and veggies over a bed of rice, but honestly it’s a complete meal in itself.
This dish is already jam-packed with veggies, chicken, and big flavor so you don’t need much else to go with it!
P.S. This one pan meal is also perfect for meal prep! Make ahead of time and toss in your Tupperware with rice.

Easy One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken
Ingredients
Chicken + Veggies
- 1 1/2 lbs Chicken Breast Boneless, Skinless
- 1 Onion Chopped
- 12 Oz Baby Carrots
- 3 1/2 Cups Broccoli Florets (or one head of broccoli)
- 2 Cups Bell Pepper Chopped
- Cracked Black Pepper to taste
Honey Garlic Sauce
- 1 1/3 Tbsp cornstarch 1/3 tbps = 1 tsp for reference 🙂
- 1/2 Cup soy sauce
- 1/4 Cup honey
- 2 Tsp garlic Minced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix together the cornstarch and soy sauce until the cornstarch completely dissolves, and no lumps remain. Add the honey and garlic, mixing to combine.
- Cut your chicken into 1-2 inch cubed pieces. You want them to be as close to the same size as possible. Season with pepper.
- Chop your onion, broccoli, and bell peppers into desired size.
- Add all the prepped veggies to the baking sheet along with the cut-up and seasoned chicken pieces, spreading everything evenly. Stir the sauce again to make sure the cornstarch hasn’t settled to the bottom before pouring the sauce over the chicken and veggies.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink and the veggies are crisp-tender. Stir once during the cooking time to make sure everything is coated in sauce. Bake for another 10-12 minutes.
- Serve immediately with your choice of side, we love to serve this with steamed rice!
Delicious!!! Odd question- does this freeze ok.
This was easy and delicious. The hardest part was the chopping, came together quickly and was perfectly cooked. Leftovers were even better. Served ours over rice. Delicious.
I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed it! It’s definitely a go-to for us on a busy night 🙂 Thank you for the kind words and review!
This is in my regular dinner rotation! So easy and so good. Highly recommend!
Can tofu be substituted for chicken?
Hi Janice! I’m not sure as I haven’t tested it, but I do have a honey garlic tofu recipe on my website! If you search “tofu” in the search bar it will come up 🙂
Tastes great and super simple!
This looks and sounds so so hood. And I love that it is a sheet pan dish. So easy!
