Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Honey Butter Sauce

2

Over medium heat, melt the butter and add the garlic. Cook stirring occasionally for about 2 minutes.

3

Add the honey, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Reduce the heat to medium-low and bring to a boil, let simmer, while stirring occasionally for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sheet Pan Honey Butter Chicken

4

Place the chicken pieces in a medium sized bowl. Pour 2 tablespoons of soy sauce on the chicken pieces and stir to coat the chicken in soy sauce. Set aside.

5

Pour all but 1/3 cup (or so) of the butter honey sauce on the chicken pieces. Set the 1/3 cup of sauce aside for now. Toss the chicken pieces in the sauce to coat and set aside.

6

Spread the broccoli florets and the onion pieces evenly over the sheet pan. Drizzle with a little Sesame oil and sprinkle with a couple pinches of Kosher salt.

7

Drizzle the reserved 1/3 cup of honey butter sauce over the broccoli and the onions. Then place the chicken pieces on top of the veggies.

8

Bake for 20 minutes. You can temp the chicken pieces if you want, the internal temperature should read 165-170 degrees.

Kimchi Slaw

9

Rinse the onion slices in cold water for several seconds, then pat the slices dry.

10

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, lime juice, sesame oil, grated ginger, brown sugar, salt and pepper.

11

Add the onion slices and 8 cups of thinly sliced Napa cabbage.

12

Then add the 1/2 cup of chopped kimchi.

13

Mix the slaw with your hands to evenly coat the Napa cabbage in the dressing and distribute the kimchi.

14

Add the chopped cilantro and mix again.
