Ingredients
- 8-10 chicken tenders or 4 chicken breasts sliced horizontally
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- 1 pound green beans ends trimmed
- Parsley for garnish
Lemon Honey Sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- juice of 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup honey
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Spice Mix
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Spray a large sturdy baking sheet with cooking spray or line with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the chicken on a prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, honey, and olive oil. Whisk to combine. Drizzle 1/3 of the lemon sauce over the chicken.
- Place chicken in the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the seasonings in a small bowl and set aside.
- After 10 minutes, remove the baking pan from the oven, flip the chicken and place the green beans and cauliflower around the sides of the chicken.
- Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with seasonings and drizzle 1/3 of the lemon sauce over the vegetables and some more on the chicken.
- Return the oven back to the pan and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or once the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165ºF. If the veggies are done but the chicken is not, you can remove the veggies to a bowl and return the chicken back to the oven until finished cooking.
- Drizzle the chicken with remaining lemon sauce and turn the oven to broil. Broil for 2-3 minutes (watching carefully) until the chicken is a golden brown color.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
- cover your baking sheet with foil for easy clean up!
- use boneless skinless chicken breasts if you have them. just be sure to slice lengthwise into a few strips for even baking.
- to ensure even baking, try and get all ingredients in a single layer on the baking pan.
- if you don’t have chicken breasts, use tenders or cutlets
- baked with a few lemon sliced thin on the pan.
- for more lemon flavor, add some lemon zest to the sauce.
- if you don’t have a big enough sheet pan, feel free to use a roasting pan or larger baking dish.
- start checking the chicken early, they don’t usually take more than 20 minutes to cook through.
- add some sliced red, yellow, or orange bell peppers for more color and crunch.
