A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy chicken thighs and caramelized broccoli with a sticky teriyaki glaze, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g)
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g), roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (120 ml), store-bought or homemade
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • Optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Set aside.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the broccoli florets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on a sheet pan, spaced evenly. Spread the broccoli around the chicken in a single layer.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until the chicken skin starts to turn golden and broccoli begins to soften.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Brush the chicken thighs generously with teriyaki sauce and toss the broccoli gently to coat with pan juices.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and broccoli is tender with some charred edges.
  8. Optionally, brush one more thin layer of teriyaki sauce on the chicken before serving.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken dry to ensure crispy skin. Roast at high heat (425°F) for best results. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Add teriyaki sauce halfway through cooking to avoid burning. Let chicken rest a few minutes after roasting for juicier bites. Use bone-in, skin-on thighs for best flavor and texture. For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free teriyaki sauce. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to maintain crispiness.
