Heart Healthy Sheet Pan Asian Chicken

Baking chicken and vegetables on a baking sheet is a healthy way to cook. It doesn’t require a lot of oil and as long as you keep the marinade healthy, you’re left with nothing but high-protein chicken and vegetables that are loaded with nutrients and fiber. The healthiest chicken sheet pan recipes use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Add plenty of heart healthy vegetables and keep your marinade or sauce low in fat, sodium and sugar.

Using Asian-inspired flavors is a great way to make a tasty sheet pan recipe that’s not bland or boring. But many sauces and seasonings used in Asian cooking are high in sodium, so if you’re on a low-sodium diet, you may need to make a few changes to your Asian chicken sheet pan dinner recipe. We reduced the sodium in this recipe by using low-sodium tamari, which has less sodium than soy sauce. We also upped the other ingredients that make it flavorful so we don’t have to rely on using too much tamari in the recipe. This results in a lower sodium Asian recipe that still tastes great!

Spreading ingredients out on a baking sheet and popping it in the oven is as easy as it gets and you may be surprised by some of the recipes you can make using this easy cooking method.
