Sheet Pan Teriyaki Chicken
Tender chicken and crisp vegetables cook under the broiler with a sweet and savory teriyaki glaze.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces, about 1.4 kg
- 1 ½ cups teriyaki sauce divided, 360 ml
- 1 lb broccoli cut into bite-sized florets, 450 g
- 1 large red bell pepper seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow onion cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tbsp neutral oil such as avocado or canola, 15 ml
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish, optional
- Sliced green onions for garnish, optional
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chicken pieces with 1 cup (240 ml) of the teriyaki sauce. Stir to coat, then cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Position an oven rack about 6 inches from the heating element and preheat the broiler to high.
- On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the broccoli, bell pepper, and onion with the oil. Spread into an even layer.
- Broil the vegetables for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender-crisp with some charred spots. Transfer the vegetables to a clean bowl and set aside.
- Carefully arrange the marinated chicken in a single layer on the same baking sheet. Discard any marinade left in the bowl.
- Broil the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and flip the pieces over.
- Continue to broil for another 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is caramelized and cooked through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest piece should register 165°F (74°C).
- Return the cooked vegetables to the baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining ½ cup (120 ml) of teriyaki sauce and toss everything together directly on the pan.
- Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and green onions, if using, and serve immediately.
Notes
For food safety, always cook chicken to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Every broiler is different. Watch the food closely as it cooks to prevent it from burning.
Using a large, rimmed baking sheet helps the ingredients cook in a single layer for even browning.
You can use your favorite store-bought or homemade teriyaki sauce for this recipe.
