Ingredients for Sheet Pan Sweet Chili Chicken

You only need 4 ingredients for this sheet pan meal. YES ONLY 4.

  • Boneless skinless chicken thighs: Cut into bite-size pieces for a faster cook time. You can also use boneless skinless chicken breast.
  • Broccoli: Use fresh broccoli cut into florets for this recipe. Frozen will not work on this one.
  • Thai sweet chili sauce: This stuff is so dang good. I love it on so many things. You can find it in the Asian aisle of your grocery store.
  • Soy sauce: A little soy sauce adds a little extra umph and richness to the sauce.

Easy Clean Up

Because there is sugar in the sweet chili sauce, caramelization can occur during baking. That can mean a huge, annoying mess to clean.

I like to line my baking sheet with foil or parchmet paper to make clean up super quick and easy.

This sheet pan sweet chili chicken is delicious on its own but its also great over steamed white or brown rice if you want to make it a little more hearty.

It’s also a great option if you’re into meal prepping. It reheats well and is flavorful so you won’t get bored with it halfway through the week.
