Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Baked Chicken & Cauliflower is a quick, delicious one-pan meal featuring juicy chicken and crispy cauliflower tossed in a sticky sweet-savory honey garlic glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley or green onions, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Set aside.
  3. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  4. Arrange the chicken and cauliflower on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper.
  5. Pour half of the honey garlic sauce over the chicken and cauliflower, tossing gently to coat.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the cauliflower is golden and tender.
  7. In the final 5 minutes of baking, brush or drizzle the remaining sauce over the chicken and return to the oven.
  8. Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley or green onions before serving.

Notes

  • Use tamari for a gluten-free version.
  • Double the sauce if serving with rice or grains.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan to help cauliflower crisp.
  • Use thighs for juicier chicken or breasts for a leaner option.
  • Add extra veggies like broccoli or bell peppers if desired.
