  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Dice chicken thighs into 1-inch pieces. Season with 1 tbsp of white pepper and 1 tbsp of garlic powder. Chop vegetables like broccoli, bell peppers, and red onion. set aside.
Combine Ingredients:
  1. In a mixing bowl, mix the coconut aminos, brown sugar, minced ginger, and minced garlic until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Mix in the honey and sesame oil in the bowl, ensuring everything is well combined.
  3. Stir in 1 tbsp of rice wine vinegar. Separately, create a slurry by mixing the cornstarch with water until smooth, ensuring no lumps. Add to sauce.
  4. Pour 1/3 of the teriyaki sauce over the chicken. Add to sheet pan.
  5. Next, drizzle olive oil over the vegetables. Add to sheet pan. Place in the oven and cook for 15 minutes.

Notes

  • Customize this recipe by making it to your liking. Prefer more heat? add red pepper flakes.
  • I suggest that you taste the teriyaki sauce and adjust it to your liking before adding to the chicken and vegetables. Some people's tolerance for sweets is different, start by using 1/2 of the sugar allotment first, and then add the remaining if preferred. However, my family cleans their plate with the sauce as-is!
