Ingredients and Substitutions
- 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 in this recipe.
- Honey- just a little is used to add some sweetness, use brown sugar or coconut sugar instead if you prefer.
- Vegetables- I used yellow onion, red pepper and broccoli for this recipe. However, any of your favorite vegetables will work.
See the recipe card below for the remaining ingredients and quantities.
Variations
This recipe uses chicken breasts, however, steak or shrimp would also be delicious in this recipe. Instead of broccoli and red bell pepper, you could use snap peas, mushrooms, zucchini or bok choy.
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients. Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces and marinate in garlic, ginger, coconut aminos or soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and apple cider vinegar while you cut the vegetables.
- Add the diced chicken to the sheet pan along with the vegetables. Make sure to spread everything evenly across the pan.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the vegetables and chicken and toss to make sure everything is coated. Drizzle more soy sauce or coconut aminos and sesame oil over everything if needed.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until everything is cooked through. Serve as is or over rice or noodles. Enjoy!
Serving
I like serving this over simple white or brown rice as the bake is flavorful on its own. Rice, soba or udon noodles would also be a great base for this sheet pan sesame chicken bake.
Top Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven.
- Allow the chicken to marinate ahead of time for the best results and the most flavor.

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!
