Ingredients notes
This healthy Asian sheet pan dinner is made using a few wholesome ingredients, like chicken and vegetables, and a few Asian pantry staples! Gather these items:

- The dinner: Chicken breasts, red bell peppers, broccoli, a red onion, snap peas, olive oil, and bok choy.
How to make Asian sheet pan chicken
The humble sheet pan does the heavy lifting for you! Simply make the sauce, marinate the chicken, and pop it in the oven with the veggies! A busy weeknight has nothing on you! This is how it's done:
- Sauce: Mix all of the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Pour some over the chicken breasts in a bowl, and mix the rest with some water and cornstarch, letting it boil and reduce.
- Bake: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the chicken breasts in the middle, pouring the marinade over top. Arrange the vegetables around the chicken, drizzling them with oil. Pop it in the oven for 20 minutes. Take it out, add the bok choy, and toss everything around with more sauce. Put it back in and let it finish off for ten more minutes.
- Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven, cut it into strips, and serve alongside the veggies, with the sauce drizzled over top.
Vegetables for Asian sheet pan dinner
There are no rules here: if you have cauliflower in your fridge instead of broccoli, then sub it out and use up your cauliflower! This Asian sheet pan chicken recipe is super versatile, meaning you can swap out or add any veggies you'd like. The only caution is to avoid overcrowding the pan, as this may lead to steaming rather than achieving a crispy exterior on the veggies. Some of our favorite veggies to use include cauliflower, mushrooms, carrots, asparagus, or green beans!
Depending on what veggies you use, the cooking times may vary. Harder vegetables, like carrots or sweet potato, will take longer to roast than softer veggies, like beans or mushrooms.
What to serve with Asian sheet pan chicken
The beauty of a sheet pan dinner is that its a one-and-done, complete meal with protein and veggies, all in one! Serve it with a side of steaming basmati or coconut rice for a simple and delicious meal. You can also use cauliflower rice to lower the carbohydrates.
Another option is to turn this into a stir-fry dinner by cooking some noodles, and adding all the sheet pan ingredients, topping it off with extra sauce. Sprinkle on some chili flakes or sesame seeds to garnish!
Round it out with some salads on the side, like this Thai cucumber salad or an Asian slaw.
Recipe FAQs
Can I make this dish dairy-free or gluten-free?
You sure can! Simply double-check all the product labels, particularly the soy sauce labels, to ensure they don't have any sneaky additions!
How do I store leftovers of this sheet pan meal?
Store any leftover sheet pan chicken and vegetables in an airtight container in the fridge for up to four days. You can also pop it in the freezer for up to three months.
Can I make Asian sheet pan chicken for meal prep?
You sure can! This makes for a great, healthy meal prep. With a serving of protein and nutritious veggies, you'll be eating healthy all week long!
What cut of chicken should I use?
We opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but you can use another cut if you'd like, keeping in mind that it will alter the cooking time. Bone-in chicken will take around 40 minutes to cook, so you'll want to start cooking it first and then add the veggies to the tray after 20 minutes.
Can I play with the spice level?
You can! If you don't love spice, you can omit the sriracha. If you enjoy it, add some more, or sprinkle some red chili flakes over top before serving.

After reading all the comments I will definitely make this.BTW, messy hair or not, that is a happy little girl in the picture.
I used squash, cauliflower and onions and poured all the sauce over the breasts and veggies. I took the chicken out after about 25 minutes and put these veggies back in for another 10 or so just to get them more tender. Delicious. Thanks for the great recipe.
I’m about to attempt this recipe (since it looks good and easy) for a large family gathering (about 17 people, 2 of whom are kids). So I’ll try 4 times the recipe. But it would be helpful to me to determine more of what you mean by “two chicken breasts” in terms of weight. Can you estimate in approximate ounces? I was thinking about 4-1/2 pounds of chicken. Thank you for any assistance.

A medium sized chicken breast is about 6 ounces. I hope that helps!
Can I roast mushrooms with this or will it be too watery?
Mushrooms will be ok – just make sure not to crowd the pan.
Absolutely, positively the best dish we have had in a very long time. I’m not much of a good cook but even I was able to make it. I can never remember using bokchoy for anything & was surprised how much everyone liked it.
My family loved this dinner so much they have requested it to be made once a week! Even the picky eaters enjoyed it with a hearty 2 thumbs up! Thank you Endless Meal! Quick and easy to prepare. Excellent flavors. Fast cooking time and simple clean up.
Such flavor! Love it! Really delicious!
Great recipe!!! I used thinner chicken breasts so cooked a little more so we had leftovers. We served with brown rice noodles & cauliflower fried rice!! It is a keeper
This Asian Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner is absolutely delicious! It has a great taste with a really rich flavor. Glad I got to get all my needed authentic Asian ingredients in Karman Foods. Will definitely make this again.
This is sooo yummy. I was very impressed with this. It was so easy and has so much flavor.Ā
