Yes, sheet pan dinners are incredibly healthy because they require very little added oil to roast the ingredients. As long as you choose lean proteins and plenty of vegetables, it's a great cooking method for balanced meals.
Absolutely! Pairing lean chicken with cauliflower rice provides a satisfying, high-protein meal that is lower in carbohydrates and calories compared to serving it with traditional white or brown rice.
Bok choy pairs beautifully with aromatic ingredients like minced garlic, fresh ginger, sesame oil, and a splash of rice vinegar. A little sriracha or red pepper flakes can also add a nice spicy kick.
Yes, if you prefer a more streamlined dish, you can omit the bell peppers, broccoli, and snap peas, and simply roast the chicken alongside a larger portion of baby bok choy wedges.

Recipe yields 4 servings
In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and garlic.
Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag and pour 1/4 cup of the sauce over the chicken. Marinate the chicken, chilled, for 2 hours or overnight.
In a small saucepan, add the remaining sauce and the ½ cup water, cook over medium high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil. In a small cup, combine the cornstarch with 1 tablespoon cold water and pour into the saucepan. Stir to combine and cook until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper. Arrange the chicken breasts (with the marinade) in the center of the baking pan. Arrange the bell peppers, broccoli, onion, and snap peas around the chicken and drizzle with the oil. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, toss the vegetables and add the bok choy. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of the sauce over the vegetables and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Slice the chicken into strips and serve with the vegetables over cauliflower rice. Drizzle with additional sauce. Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
If you don't want to use the oven, you can easily turn this into a traditional chicken stir fry with bok choy and vegetables. Simply heat a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat with a little olive oil. Stir fry the marinated chicken until browned, then add your broccoli, peppers, snap peas, and bok choy, tossing frequently until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
This sheet pan meal is a complete dinner on its own, but it pairs wonderfully with a warm bowl of mushroom soup or a light, refreshing cucumber salad. For a larger spread, serve it alongside some heart-healthy vegetable kebabs or fresh edamame.
You can use coconut aminos if you are avoiding soy, or use standard low-sodium soy sauce if you don't need the recipe to be strictly gluten-free.
Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave nectar for a slightly different natural sweetness.
If you aren't watching your carbohydrates, you can serve this over steamed brown rice, quinoa, or whole-wheat noodles. • For Sriracha: If you don't like heat, simply omit the sriracha. If you want an umami boost, you can stir in a small spoonful of oyster sauce to the marinade.
