Sheet Pan Garlic Soy Chicken & Vegetables

This easy dish comes together quickly and is cooked all on one baking sheet. Putting the pan in the oven while it preheats makes it hot enough to lightly sear the chicken and vegetables, adding texture and flavor and also reducing the cook time.

Ingredients

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 cloves garlic, grated
2 teaspoons neutral oil, such as canola or avocado
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into 1-inch strips
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 medium red or orange bell pepper, cut into 1-inch strips
1 bunch scallions, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sesame oil

Directions

Place a large rimmed baking sheet in the oven; preheat to 400°F.
Combine 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 cloves garlic, 2 teaspoons canola oil, 2 teaspoons ginger and 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper in a small skillet; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved.
Place 1 pound of chicken, 2 cups snap peas, 1 bell pepper and 1 bunch of scallions in a large bowl. Add the soy mixture and stir to coat. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and coat with cooking spray. Spread the chicken and vegetable mixture in an even layer on the hot baking sheet. Bake, stirring once, until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil and stir to coat.
