Baked Sesame Chicken

Eating healthier has been one of my goals as I move into the next year. More protein and vegetables have been a go-to of mine for dinners as well. I decided to share an easy and quick sheet pan dish that is healthy and ready in 30 minutes that your family will love! The tangy sauce drizzled on the chicken and colorful vegetables adds a perfect finish to this nutritious meal!

I sprinkled some delicious sesame seeds and scallions on the top of the dish for added flavor!

The sauce was a combination of beautifully aromatic Asian flavors which completed the dish.

Sheet pan recipes are my go-to meals for when I am in a hurry and don't have too much time to prepare and cook a meal. This chicken and veggies dinner option took about half an hour and it was absolutely delicious! It's quick, healthy, and tasty so what more can you ask for in a meal?

Serve this with some white rice, or if you want to keep it healthy, serve it on top of a bowl of quinoa! We ate it as is without a form of grain, but it's all up to how you want to enjoy it!
