Equipment
- sheet pan
Ingredients
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast cut into 1.5" chunks
- ½ cup all-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
- 1 tablespoon seasoned salt
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 cups broccoli florets cut into 2" pieces
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- ½ cup Frank's Red Buffalo Hot Sauce or your favorite hot sauce
- ⅓ cup hot honey
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- While prepping the ingredients, preheat the oven to 425°. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick spray.
- Cut the chicken into chunks that are 1.5" in size. Also cut the broccoli spears into 2" pieces. Make sure to make them uniform in size so they cook evenly while baking.
- Combine all spices in a small bowl. Add half the spice blend to flour in another medium bowl. Toss the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour blend so all sides are coated.
- On a greased sheet pan add the chicken to one side in a single layer. Add the broccoli florets to the other side. Season broccoli with the remaining spice blend.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and broccoli pieces. Toss with tongs or your hands to coat most sides.
- Place the sheet pan in the oven on a rack in the middle of the preheated oven. Set the timer for 20 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, use a spatula to flip the chicken and broccoli pieces. This helps get both sides brown & evenly cooked. Begin making the sauce now.
- Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat on the stove.
- Next, using a garlic press, squeeze two cloves of garlic through the press and add to the pot.Stir & cook for 2 minutes so the garlic cooks & gets golden brown.
- Add the hot sauce & hot honey to the saucepan and stir. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Leave it on your lowest setting to stay warm while the chicken & broccoli finish cooking.
- The chicken will be ready when the internal temperature reaches 165° (about 20 minutes total). the broccoli should be fork-tender. Both will have crispy brown edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven.Drizzle the homemade buffalo sauce over the chicken pieces. Toss to coat. Add additional salt & pepper to taste if desired.
- Serve immediately - also great over rice, pasta, potatoes, & more.
