Substitutions And Additions
VEGETABLES: The vegetable choices are entirely customizable in this recipe. If you are not a fan of broccoli, just leave it out. If you have other vegetables on hand, add them in. Try mushrooms, bok choy, zucchini, or red onions for classic choices.
MEAT: Instead of chicken, you could use beef, pork, or shrimp in its place for your protein.
VEGETARIAN: For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken with tofu.
How To Make This Sheet Pan Stir Fry Recipe
STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or brush with olive oil and place it inside the oven as it is preheating.
OUR RECIPE DEVELOPER SAYS
Preheating the sheet pan gives the meat and vegetables a little sear when they go into the hot oven. You can also toss the vegetables with a bit of olive oil before putting them on the sheet pan, but it’s not necessary.
STEP TWO: Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes and pat dry.
STEP THREE: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and cornstarch. Divide the sauce in half and set one half aside.
PRO TIP:
For more sauce, double the recipe, still using half to marinate the chicken and the other half to thicken on the stovetop.

STEP FOUR: Place chicken in the other half of the soy sauce mixture and toss to combine. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.

STEP FIVE: Wash and dry the vegetables. Slice the yellow and red pepper into large pieces, discarding seeds and stems. Slice the green parts of two green onions and add to the vegetables.
PRO TIP:
Slice the bell peppers ahead of time and store them in the fridge in Ziploc bags for an even quicker prep time.

STEP SIX: Drain the marinating chicken and discard the liquid.
PRO TIP:
It’s really important to drain off the liquid/marinade from the chicken. If there’s moisture going into the sheet pan, it makes everything mushy and muted in color.
STEP SEVEN: Toss together the chicken and all of the vegetables. Spread in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring midway through cook time.
STEP EIGHT: While the stir fry mixture cooks in the oven, place the reserved soy sauce mixture in a small saucepan. Whisk and heat over medium until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.
STEP NINE: When chicken is cooked (check the internal temperature to ensure it has reached 165°F), remove the sheet pan from the oven.
STEP TEN: Drizzle the thickened sauce over the sheet pan’s contents and sprinkle liberally with sesame seeds.

STEP ELEVEN: Serve immediately, garnished with more sliced green onions and rice if desired.
