Ingredients For This Chicken and Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner

- Cooking Oil: to toss with the veggies to roast
- Salt: to season
- Broccoli: Cut into florets

How To Make Sheet Pan Chicken and Broccoli Supper with Honey Sriracha Sauce
- Cut the sweet potatoes into small cubes. If you like the texture of the skin, leave it on- it’ll add more fiber to the final meal.
- Cut the broccoli into florets. Broccoli is not as dense as sweet potato, so these pieces can be larger. They’ll end up cooking at about the same rate.
- Toss the veggies with oil and salt and spread out over two baking sheets. You don’t want to over-crowd them because that would keep the veggies from browning, and in a few minutes you’ll be adding in the chicken too.
- Give the broccoli and sweet potatoes a head start in the oven so they can soften a bit before the chicken is added.
- After the broccoli and sweet potatoes have softened a little, scootch them over to the side of the pan to make space for the chicken tenders. You want them to have direct contact with the sheet pan. Brush oil over the chicken and sprinkle with the rest of the salt. Then everything goes back into the oven to cook all the way through.
- The sauce is a mixture of sriracha and honey with a bit of vinegar to add brightness. If you like a lot of sauce- you can double the sauce.
- Once the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender, remove everything from the oven and drizzle with the sauce. I sprinkled on some scallions and sesame seeds too after.
This recipe is also awesome for meal prep and you can divide it into individual servings and store them for lunches during the week.

Wow! So easy and so good! Great recipe!
Thank you, Rachel! Have a great weekend!
I didn’t read the entire recipe before making this, so I added the sauce before baking. The honey caramelized and it was so delicious. I doubled the sauce per your suggestion. I will make this again and again. Can’t wait to try this sauce with shrimp. Thank you!
This is a yummy, easy to make, easy to clean-up meal. Serve with rice or quinoa. I doubled the sauce and poured it all over the meat and veges. Delicious!! Yep, we will have this again.
So yummy! Love the honey sriracha sauce! Such a perfect dinner!
I love how the honey makes the Sriracha seem not so hot. It’s a spice enabler!
I am all about sheet pan recipes! I’ve been making one a week also! Once you start, it’s hard to stop! Definitely adding this to my list!
It’s true, I was thinking about that last night. I think this trend here on the blog may continue for a while. I have a lot of ideas.
Love this as a meal prep idea for lunches all week!
My husband and I loved having this packed into containers for our lunches. It is so much better having something planned ahead.
Sheet pan meals are perfect to make on busy days. What a delicious and healthy meal! I love the honey Sriracha sauce!
They have been so helpful this fall. I have been on a sheetpan tear!
This looks so easy and delicious. Perfect for those busy nights.
Pretty much every single weeknight is a busy night in this house!
I love meals that don’t require a huge clean up. Who has time for that? The hint of spice in this chicken really puts it over the top.
I wish dishes could just magically disappear. Wouldn’t that be a dream?!
