Instead of ordering takeout, I much prefer making this Thai Chicken Dinner at home. It’s a healthy meal with simple ingredients and the result is tender, moist and sticky chicken thighs packed with delicious flavor!

Thai Chicken Dinner

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs
1 bunch asparagus
1 bag baby carrots
1 bag broccoli
1 cup ketchup
1 cup honey
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp garlic chopped
1/4 cup green onions
2 tbsp sesame seeds
PAM Cooking Spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and garlic until combined.
Set the sauce mixture aside.
Chop up the asparagus and place in a large bowl with the broccoli and carrots.
Toss 1/4 cup sauce in with the veggies until coated.
Spray baking dish with PAM spray and pour veggies in the dish.
Place the chicken thighs on top of the veggies.
Brush the remaining sauce on the chicken with a BBQ brush until all covered. Sprinkle a little bit of sesame seeds on top.
Place in the oven for 30-40 minutes.
At 35 minutes check the chicken and if its not crunchy on top, pull off the chicken and place on a cookie sheet.
Add more sauce to the chicken.
Turn the oven to low broil, and then place the chicken back in the oven for 10-15 minutes.
Once the chicken is to your desired crispiness, take out of the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!

This Sheet Pan Jambalaya is chock-full of bold, zesty, Creole flavors that everyone will love. I made it for a family reunion recently, and everyone was going back for seconds and thirds.

What is Sheet Pan Jambalaya?

Jambalaya is an exceptionally popular dish that has French and Spanish influence. It consists of meat, rice and vegetables and, let’s be real—it’s straight up comfort food!

I agree with Mark Twain when he said, “New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.”
