Ingredients

4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup soy sauce (low sodium)

2 tablespoons sesame oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

2 cups broccoli florets

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 medium zucchini, sliced

1 carrot, julienned

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons sesame seeds (for garnish)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

Prep the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.

Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, seal or cover, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight for more flavor).

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Veggies: In a large mixing bowl, combine the broccoli, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot. Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Arrange in a Baking Dish: Place the marinated chicken thighs in the center of a large baking dish. Scatter the prepared vegetables around the chicken.

Drizzle Remaining Marinade: Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and vegetables, ensuring everything is well coated.

Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the veggies are tender.

Garnish and Serve: Once baked, sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
