Sheet-Pan Sesame Chicken

Sheet-pan dinners are always a win with my family. Especially now with so much going on —
back to school, Yom Tov, etc. — this is a perfect easy dinner.

1h 20m 4-6
Easy Gluten Free Meat

Contains: Sesame

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine apricot jam, coconut aminos, tomato paste, mustard, honey, sesame oil, ginger, salt, and red pepper flakes. Mix well to create the glaze.

  3. Add the chicken cubes to the bowl and toss until fully coated in the glaze. Let chicken marinate in the glaze for about 15–20 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

  4. Wash and cut the fingerling potatoes in half. Add potatoes, frozen broccoli, red onion, and bell pepper cubes to the same mixing bowl. Toss the vegetables in the glaze to coat them evenly.

  5. Line a large baking sheet with Gefen Parchment Paper. Spread the marinated chicken and glazed vegetables, including the potatoes, in a single layer on the baking sheet, then sprinkle sesame seeds on top.

  6. Bake for 35–45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork. Make sure to stir the ingredients halfway through the baking time for even cooking

    and browning.

Delicious meal! Our family really enjoyed it. I had the tiniest bit of cauliflower that I put in, since I was out of broccoli. I wish I had more to put in because it was super tender! I misread the recipe and used cubed chicken breast meat. I took it out after around 20 (?) minutes and set the cooked chicken aside. I wouldn’t have elected to do it that way if I had noticed that detail in recipe, but all in all it turned out really good!!! I would make it again!

Thank you, it looks delicious! Would I be able to use cubed chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

I made it with cubed chicken breasts because my daughter won't touch chicken thighs. It's probably a little dryer, but it was really good. Even my picky daughter loved it!

Is the pan covered with foil?
