Spray a large sturdy baking sheet with cooking spray or for easier clean-up, line with parchment paper or heavy duty foil. Place the chicken on prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lemon juice, sweetener, sesame oil, and cilantro together. Drizzle 1\/3 of the sauce over the chicken.\u00a0 Bake for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the seasonings in a small bowl and set aside. After 10 minutes, remove baking pan from the oven, flip the chicken and place the asparagus and broccoli a long the sides of the chicken. Sprinkle the chicken and vegetables with seasonings and drizzle sauce over the vegetables and some more on the chicken (reserve 1 tsp. for the end). Return the oven back to the pan and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or once the chicken is cooked through and has reached an internal temperature of 165\u00baF. (You may want to remove the vegetables first (so they don&#8217;t overcook) if the chicken is not cooked through yet, depending on your level of preference.)\u00a0 Drizzle the chicken with additional sauce and turn the oven to broil for -2 minutes, until the chicken has a nice brown color (watch closely so the chicken does not burn). Sprinkle with chopped parsley and sesame seeds, if desired and serve hot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheet Pan Honey Lemon Chicken with Asparagus &nbsp; 8-10 chicken tenders or 4 chicken breasts, sliced horizontally salt and black pepper to taste 3 T. \u00a0coconut aminos , can also sub with gluten-free tamari or low-sodium soy sauce 3 T. \u00a0fresh lemon juice 1 lemon 1\/3 cup honey 2 tsp. toasted sesame oil OR macadamia nut oil 1\/2 T. \u00a0finely chopped cilantro , can leave out if you&#8217;re not a fan of cilantro Seasonings: 1 1\/2 tsp. salt 1\/2 tsp&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"><a class=\"btn btn-default\" href=\"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/?p=38415\"> Read More<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">  Read More<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[152],"class_list":["post-38415","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poultry","tag-sheet-pan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38415","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38415"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38415\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38417,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38415\/revisions\/38417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38415"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38415"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcgirl.net\/recipes\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38415"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
