Ingredients
- Chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs will work in this recipe.
- Coconut aminos or soy sauce. I prefer coconut aminos as they have less sodium but either will work.
- Honey. Just a little is used to add some sweetness to the sauce.
- Apple cider vinegar. Adds the perfect amount of acidity to the dish. Use rice wine vinegar in its place if you prefer.
See the recipe card below for the remaining ingredients and quantities.
Variations
Steak or shrimp would be great substitutes for the chicken. Instead of broccoli and red bell pepper, you could use snap peas, mushrooms, zucchini or bok choy.
Instructions
Step 1
Marinate the chicken in garlic, ginger, coconut aminos or soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and apple cider vinegar while you cut the vegetables. Spread everything out evenly on a sheet pan.
Step 2
Pour the remaining sauce over the vegetables and chicken and toss to ensure everything is coated. Bake for 25-30 minutes until everything is cooked through. Serve as is or over rice or noodles.
Sarah's Top Tips
- Allow the chicken to marinate ahead of time for the best results and the most flavor.
- Ensure the chicken and veggies are spread out in a single layer to promote even roasting and caramelization.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
- Freeze the cooked chicken and veggies in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge or reheat from frozen in the microwave or oven.
Serving
I like serving this over rice as the bake is flavorful on its own. Rice, soba or udon noodles would also be a great base for this sesame chicken bake.

Hi Sarah, We made this last night and it was so easy and delicious! Added some pineapple chunks and swapped asparagus for the broccoli, because it was in my fridge. Thanks for a VERY easy one dish midweek meal. We will be making this one again and again!
