  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 40 min.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey (or maple syrup for a vegan version)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 1 cup shelled cashews (unsalted)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce

  1. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.

Prep the Chicken and Veggies

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Prep the Vegetables: Slice the red bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion into thin strips.

Assemble the Sheet Pan

  1. Toss Everything Together: On a large sheet pan, toss the chicken pieces, sliced vegetables, and cashews with the olive oil, making sure everything is evenly coated.
  2. Pour the Sauce: Drizzle the prepared sauce over the chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is well-coated in the sauce.

Roast in the Oven

  1. Roast: Place the sheet pan in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender. The sauce should be thickened and caramelized.

Serve

  1. Serve: Remove the sheet pan from the oven and serve immediately over rice or noodles. Garnish with fresh cilantro or green onions if desired.
