# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Trim 1 lb fresh green beans and set aside. Pat dry 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs with paper towels to ensure a good sear and even cooking for your one-pan meal.
02 -
In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup honey, 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tbsp fresh ginger (grated), 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. In a small separate bowl, combine 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp water to create a slurry; set aside.
03 -
On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs and 1 lb fresh green beans with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp kosher salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Arrange in a single layer, ensuring space for even cooking of your Honey Garlic Chicken & Green Beans | One-Pan Dinner.
04 -
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Roast for 10-12 minutes to begin cooking the chicken and tenderizing the green beans. This initial roast is key for developing flavor in your Honey Garlic Chicken & Green Beans | One-Pan Dinner.
05 -
Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Pour the prepared honey garlic sauce over the chicken and green beans. Toss gently to coat everything thoroughly. Return to the oven and roast for another 10-13 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
06 -
If desired, transfer pan juices to a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, and whisk in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until thickened, then pour back over. Garnish your Honey Garlic Chicken & Green Beans | One-Pan Dinner with 1 tsp sesame seeds and 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional) before serving immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
02 -
Feel free to swap green beans for broccoli florets, asparagus, or bell peppers. Adjust roasting times as needed for different vegetables.
03 -
For more heat, increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of sriracha to the sauce. For less, omit the flakes entirely.
