This Healthy Teriyaki Chicken is a quick and flavorful sheet pan meal made with a naturally sweetened teriyaki sauce, lean chicken, and colorful veggies. The homemade glaze is made with coconut aminos, honey, fresh orange juice, and ginger, creating a deliciously sticky, better-for-you version of a takeout favorite.
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a large sheet pan with foil then spray with non stick spray (I use a ghee or coconut oil based spray). Set aside.
Whisk all of the teriyaki glaze together in a medium bowl. Pour 3/4 of it into a small sauce pan and set aside. Pat the chicken dry then sprinkle with salt and pepper on both sides. Place the chicken in the bowl with the remaining teriyaki sauce and turn to coat. Transfer to the prepared sheet pan. Add the chopped veggies to the other side. Drizzle the veggies with sesame oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Bake in the 15-18 minutes, or until an internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While it's baking, heat the saucepan with the teriyaki sauce over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then simmer for 2-3 minutes, until thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Remove from the chicken and veggies from oven and drizzle the veggies and chicken with the thickened teriyaki sauce and toss to coat. Sprinkle with green onion and sesame seeds and the option to serve with brown or white rice.
