Prepare Chicken

Heat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a sheet pan with parchment. Toss cubed chicken with garlic powder, pepper, chili flakes, and flour until coated. Drizzle with olive oil and arrange on one side of the pan.

Roast Chicken and Broccoli

Add broccoli florets to the other side of the pan. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper. Bake until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

13 min

Mix Honey Garlic Sauce

While the chicken bakes, whisk together tamari, lemon juice, honey, grated garlic, gochujang, green onion, and sesame oil in a bowl.

Glaze and Finish

Remove broccoli from the pan and set aside. Pour the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Return to the oven to let the sauce caramelize.
