Sheet Pan Miso Honey Chicken with Broccoli and Carrots Tips, FAQ & printable recipe

Tips for success

To add a touch of heat, whisk a small amount of chili paste into the miso honey butter before drizzling.

This simple adjustment elevates the flavor profile without requiring extra prep time or additional ingredients, while remaining true to the original dish's balance of savory and sweet.

If you prefer extra crispy broccoli, add the florets to the pan halfway through the cooking time.

This ensures they maintain a bright green color and a firm bite, providing a nice contrast to the tender chicken chunks and the soft, caramelized texture of the roasted carrot coins.

Variations

• Spicy Miso Chicken: Stir one teaspoon of chili garlic sauce into the miso honey butter mixture to add a subtle kick of heat that complements the savory umami notes of the miso perfectly.
• Vegetable Mix-Up: Substitute the broccoli and carrots with seasonal favorites like sliced bell peppers, snap peas, or asparagus, keeping the pieces uniform in size to ensure they roast evenly with the chicken.

Storage and make-ahead

Fridge

Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer

Store in a freezer-safe container for up to 1 month.

Reheat

Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through or in a microwave-safe dish for 1-2 minutes.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Ensure the food has cooled to room temperature, which should take no longer than two hours, before placing it in the fridge to maintain food safety and optimal quality.

You can prep the chicken and vegetables by cutting them in advance and storing them in the refrigerator.

However, for the best texture and flavor, wait to drizzle the miso honey butter and roast the dish until you are ready to serve, as this ensures the glaze remains fresh and flavorful.

Serving ideas

Serve this dish directly from the sheet pan for a rustic presentation, or transfer it to a large serving platter.

It pairs beautifully with steamed jasmine rice or quinoa, which helps to soak up any remaining miso honey glaze left on the bottom of the pan.

Pair this meal with a crisp side salad featuring a light vinaigrette to balance the richness of the miso butter. A simple cucumber salad or a bed of fresh baby spinach adds a refreshing element that complements the savory notes of the main dish perfectly.

Prep 10 minCook 20 minRest 5 minTotal 35 minServes 4

Ingredients

• 1.5 lb chicken breast, cut into chunks
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 cup carrot coins
• 1/4 cup miso honey butter
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 2 tbsp green onion rings

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large aluminum sheet pan with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup. Arrange the chicken breast chunks, broccoli florets, and carrot coins in a single, even layer across the pan, ensuring the ingredients are not overcrowded to allow for proper roasting.
2. Drizzle the miso honey butter evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Place the pan in the preheated oven and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
3. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the sesame seeds and green onion rings over the hot chicken and vegetables. Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the flavors meld together nicely. Use a metal spatula to scoop portions directly from the pan.
