Terriyaki Chicken and Veggies Ann On 1 Pan I Repeat 1 Pan

This is dinner made easy.  It is all thrown together on a sheet pan.  Easy clean up, add some rice and dinner is served. 

If words “throw everything on a sheet pan” work for you, you’re going to love this sheet pan recipe.
Even better, that teriyaki sauce is homemadewith many every day ingredients (it’s already a favorite teriyaki sauce recipe I’ve used for years –  and it only takes a few minutes to whisk together.
Easy, easy, easy.

INGREDIENTS

  •  2 small-medium yellow or zucchini squash, about 12 ounces, ends trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 
  •  1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch pieces 
  •  1/2 to 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces 
  •  1 medium head of broccoli, about 12 ounces, stem trimmed, and florets cut into 1-inch pieces or so 
  •  1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into about 1/2-inch strips 
  •  1 tablespoon olive oil 
  •  1/2 cup pineapple juice 
  •  1/3 cup soy sauce (I use low-sodium) 
  •  1 tablespoon molasses 
  •  1 tablespoon brown sugar 
  •  1 tablespoon rice vinegar (can sub white vinegar) 
  •  1 to 2 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press 
  •  1 to 2 teaspoons finely minced fresh ginger or 1/4 teaspoon dried ginger 

NOTES. This serves 6

If you want a saucier end result, you might consider doubling the sauce. If it were me, I'd only pour half of the sauce over the sheet pan ingredients and cook per the recipe, and then take the other half of the sauce, stir in 2-3 teaspoons cornstarch and bring to a simmer on the stove to thicken and use the extra sauce for serving.
Feel free to sub out the vegetables in the recipe for other favorite choices like asparagus, cauliflower, other types of squash, etc. - you could easily add cherry tomatoes, too.
If you want to roast the vegetables longer (for more tender veggies), you can either keep the chicken breasts whole instead of cutting into strips and increase the cooking time to 20 minutes for everything (or longer, depending on how thick the chicken is) OR you can start the veggies cooking first and add the chicken strips after 5-7 minutes of cooking.
