This meal is packed with nutritional benefits. Chicken breast is a lean source of protein, helping to build and repair muscles, and is low in fat, making it a heart-healthy choice. The variety of vegetables—bell peppers, broccoli, and red onions—are full of vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, which supports a strong immune system, and fiber, which aids in digestion. The colorful veggies also provide antioxidants that fight inflammation and promote overall wellness.

The homemade teriyaki sauce in this recipe is a healthier alternative to store-bought versions, which can often be high in sugar and sodium. By using pure maple syrup and reduced-sodium soy sauce, this version is much lighter while still offering a deliciously sweet and savory flavor. Not only does this dish taste great, but it also provides essential nutrients, making it a well-balanced option for anyone looking to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 2 lbs chicken breasts
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (1 bag)
  • 2 small red onions, sliced
  • Olive oil spray
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper

For the Teriyaki Sauce:

  • ½ cup pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp water (for slurry)
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger root, minced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare the Veggies and Chicken

Slice the bell peppers, onions, and prepare the broccoli florets. Place the vegetables and chicken breasts onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray the veggies with olive oil and season with kosher salt and pepper.

Make the Teriyaki Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, ginger, and garlic. In a separate bowl, mix the cornstarch with 1 tbsp of water to create a slurry. Add this to the saucepan mixture along with ½ cup of water. Whisk to combine and simmer over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

Coat Chicken and Veggies

Drizzle about ⅓ cup of the teriyaki sauce over the vegetables and another ⅓ cup over the chicken breasts. Toss to coat everything evenly.

Roast the Chicken and Veggies

Roast in the oven for 25 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.

Broil for Golden Color

Set your oven to broil. Cut slits into the chicken breasts and drizzle additional teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Broil for 2-3 minutes to caramelize the sauce and get a nice golden color.

Serve and Garnish

Remove from the oven, garnish with sesame seeds and chopped scallions, and serve with the remaining teriyaki sauce on the side for dipping.
