Description

A quick and savory sheet pan dinner of bite-sized chicken, crunchy cashews, and colorful mixed vegetables glazed in a simple honey-soy mix.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup cashews (raw or roasted)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, carrots)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon ginger powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooked rice or quinoa, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment or a silicone mat.
  2. Cut chicken into 1-inch pieces and chop vegetables so all pieces are similar in size.
  3. Whisk together soy sauce, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, and ginger powder in a large bowl.
  4. Add the chicken, cashews, and mixed vegetables to the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer across the prepared sheet pan.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, turning the pan once halfway through.
  7. Let the pan rest for a few minutes, then serve over cooked rice or quinoa.

Notes

For juicier results, swap chicken breast for boneless, skinless thighs. For BBQ flavors, use a sweet-smoky sauce instead of honey-soy.
