Chef's Tips

Ensure chicken is cooked through by checking internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
For extra glaze, you can add more honey as desired.

Troubleshooting

If the glaze is too runny, remove the dish and reduce the sauce on the stove until thickened.
If vegetables are still hard after baking, cover and return to the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Recipe Variations

Add bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and flavor.
Substitute chicken with tofu or chickpeas for a vegetarian option.

Healthy Alternatives

Use low-sodium soy sauce to reduce sodium intake.
Replace honey with agave syrup for a vegan option.

Serving Suggestions

Serve alongside a fresh green salad or steamed broccoli for a balanced meal.
Pair with crusty bread to soak up the delicious glaze.
