Ingredients
Teriyaki Sauce:
- ¼ cups tamari sauce
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 1 freshly squeezed clementine juice (or orange)
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp mirin
- 1 tablespoon flour or cornstarch
- 3-4 tablespoons water
Chicken and Veggies:
- avocado oil or olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 6 thin boneless skinless chicken breasts or slice regular chicken breasts in half
- 4 heads broccoli chopped
- 3 carrots chopped
- 1 cup edamame beans
- 1/2 pineapple cut into chunks
- green onions garnish
Instructions
- Heat your oven up to 400F.
Teriyaki Sauce:
- In a sauce pan, bring to a boil the tamari sauce, honey, juice from the clementines, garlic, water, and a bit of flour to thicken the sauce.
Chicken and Veggies:
- In one sheet pan, place a large sheet of parchment paper and put your chicken on half of it. Pour your sauce (save some for later to drizzle if you would like) onto the chicken and then fold the parchment paper over the chicken. Fold the edges in to make an envelope. Put it into the oven.
- In a bowl, toss your broccoli and carrots with oil, salt, and pepper. Place broccoli, carrots, edamame beans, and pineapple evenly onto your second sheet pan and put it into the oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (based on the thickness of your chicken) and serve as is or with a bed of rice or quinoa. Garnish with green onions and if you've saved some sauce, drizzle it onto your cooked chicken.
