Can I use chicken breasts instead of chicken thighs?

You certainly can. Depending on how thick the chicken breasts are, you'll need to add five to 10 minutes to the cooking time. If you don't want to extend cooking time, then consider cutting the breasts in half so they're as thick as thighs.

Can I use drumsticks instead of breasts or thighs?

Yep. Drumsticks have roughly the same cook time as thighs, as well, so they're a one-for-one match in this recipe.

Can I use lemon or orange zest instead of lime zest?

Absolutely! We love both options. Lemon zest adds a distinctly bright and citrusy flavor while orange zest pairs incredibly well with the sweet notes of teriyaki sauce and boosts the comfort food feel of this dish.

What can I serve with this to make it a complete meal?

We love serving this over a bowl of steamed brown rice, teriyaki bowl style.

Ingredients

Units Scale

1 bunch Asparagus
8 Green Onions
1 Head of Broccoli or 1 12-oz bag Frozen Broccoli Florets
12 Tricolor Mini Peppers
1 large Red Onion
1 1/2 cups Teriyaki Sauce
8 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Thighs
Zest of 1 Lime
Sesame Seeds
Cilantro Leaves

Instructions

Prep the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with a layer of foil.

Prep the veg and chicken

Trim asparagus then cut into 2-inch pieces.
Half the green onions lengthwise, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
Cut broccoli into florets (if using frozen florettes, skip this step).
Cut mini peppersin half lengthwise, remove seeds and stems.
Cut red onion into large chunks.
Add veggies to the baking sheet then pour 3/4 cup of teriyaki sauce over top and toss well to coat.
Place the chicken thighs on top of the veggies. Pour 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce into a bowl and use a basting brush to coat the chicken with the sauce. Once chicken is coated, toss any remaining sauce.

Bake

When the oven is up to temp, place the sheet pan inside and bake for 15 minutes.
During this time, pour another 1/4 teriyaki sauce into a clean bowl and wash the basting brush.

Baste

After 15 minutes have elapsed, pull out the sheet pan and re-baste the chicken with more teriyaki sauce.

Broil

Turn on the broiler. If you have high and low settings, set it to high.
Place the sheet pan on the top rack and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until the sauce caramelizes.
Remove when the internal temperature reads 165°F. If it reads 160°F you can safely pull it out, since it’ll keep cooking as it rests.
