Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
340 grams broccoli florets
340 grams baby potatoes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil (for veggies)
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste

For the sauce

3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with foil and give it a quick spray of cooking oil.
Toss the baby potatoes directly on one half of the sheet pan with 1  tablespoon olive oil and a generous pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Spread them cut-side down in a single layer. Slide them into the oven now, they need a head start.
While the potatoes roast, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium), 3 garlic cloves, minced, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this glaze in a separate bowl, you’ll use it for serving.
Pat the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels (this helps browning!). Rub them all over with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 0.5 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
After the potatoes have had their 10-minute head start, pull the pan out. Push the potatoes to the edges, add the broccoli florets to another section, and lay the seasoned chicken breasts in the center. Spoon the honey garlic glaze generously over the chicken only.
Return the pan to the oven and roast for 20–22 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165°F (74°C) and the glaze looks deep golden and a little sticky. The broccoli tips will be slightly crispy. If your chicken is thicker than 1 inch, add 3–4 minutes.
Let the chicken rest on the pan for 5 minutes, this keeps it juicy. Drizzle the reserved glaze over the top just before serving. Slice the chicken against the grain and serve alongside the potatoes and broccoli.
