Description

A simple and nutritious sheet pan recipe featuring chicken, cashews, and fresh vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1 cup cashews
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, cube the chicken breasts and toss them with half of the soy sauce, sesame oil, and minced ginger. Let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
  3. Chop the bell peppers and broccoli into even-sized pieces.
  4. On a large baking sheet, spread out the marinated chicken, broccoli florets, and bell peppers. Drizzle with the remaining soy sauce and sesame oil.
  5. Sprinkle the cashews evenly over the ingredients on the sheet pan.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender-crisp.
  7. Stir everything on the sheet pan to combine and serve hot.

Notes

For a plant-based option, replace chicken with firm tofu. Serve over quinoa for added fiber.
