Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup honey

3 tablespoons soy sauce

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 red bell pepper, sliced

2 medium carrots, sliced

1 cup broccoli florets

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish

Chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a hot environment for cooking the chicken and vegetables evenly.

    Make the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and sesame oil. If you desire a thicker sauce, mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon of water to create a slurry before incorporating it into the sauce mixture. Whisk until well combined.

      Prepare the Chicken: Use paper towels to pat the chicken thighs dry, which helps them sear better. Season both sides generously with salt and pepper and arrange them in a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish.

        Add the Sauce: Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken thighs, making sure they are thoroughly coated in the delicious glaze.

          Add Veggies: Scatter the sliced red bell pepper, carrots, and broccoli florets around the chicken in the same pan. Drizzle a bit of olive oil on the vegetables, then season them lightly with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.

            Bake: Place the skillet or baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (an internal temperature should read 165°F or 75°C) and the vegetables are tender and vibrant.

              Broil (Optional): For an added touch of caramelization, switch your oven setting to broil and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Keep a close watch during this time to prevent burning and achieve that beautiful golden finish.

                Serve: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes. Before serving, generously sprinkle sesame seeds and chopped green onions over the top for flavor and visual appeal.

                  Enjoy: Serve hot, relishing the delectable combination of sweet and savory flavors mingling with the colorful medley of roasted vegetables.
