This Low-Carb Sesame Chicken and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal has all the flavors people love in take-out sesame chicken, without the carbs! And this low-carb sheet pan meal is also Keto, low-glycemic, gluten-free (with gluten-free soy sauce, dairy-free, and South Beach Diet friendly. Use the Low-Carb Recipes Index to find more recipes like this one.
This Low-Carb Sesame Chicken and Broccoli Sheet Pan Meal has similar flavors to the take-out Sesame Chicken and Broccoli that I’m guessing most people have had at least a few times, but there is no carb-loaded coating on the chicken, and the sauce isn’t sweetened with sugar like take-out Sesame Chicken would be. And this tasty sheet pan meal couldn’t be easier to make. You could cut up the chicken and make the marinade the night before; then let it marinate while you’re at work all day (or at least 4-5 hours.) Then dinner can be on the table in less than 30 minutes! I used some foil to make the pan even easier to clean, but if you’re not a fan of cooking with foil just cook the chicken and broccoli right on the sheet pan! I didn’t try this out on any kids, but I’m guessing it’s pretty kid-friendly too.
And keep this tasty recipe in mind during the holidays when you get overloaded with too many treats and need an easy meal that’s also healthy!

LOW-CARB SESAME CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI SHEET PAN MEAL RECIPE
INGREDIENTS:
- 3 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch pieces
- 2 lb. broccoli crowns, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 T peanut oil
- black sesame seeds for garnish (optional; regular sesame seeds are also fine)
- 1/3 cup soy sauce (gluten-free if needed, I used gluten-free Tamari)
- 1 T unseasoned rice vinegar (don’t use seasoned vinegar which contains sugar)
- 1 T + 1 tsp. Asian Sesame Oil
- 1 T granulated Stevia sweetener (or other sweetener of your choice)
- 1 T agave nectar, maple syrup, or sugar-free maple syrup (or other sweetener of your choice)
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- Trim chicken breasts removing any fat and undesirable parts and cut the chicken into pieces about 1 inch square.
- Mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, granulated Stevia or other sweetener, agave or other sweetener, and garlic powder to make the marinade/glaze.
- Put chicken pieces in a Ziploc bag or plastic container with a snap-tight lid and add the marinade, reserving 1/4 cup marinade to glaze the chicken and broccoli with after it’s cooked.
- Let chicken marinate in the fridge at least 4-5 hours, or all day while you’re at work will be fine.
- When you’re ready to cook, drain the chicken in a colander placed in the sink.
- Cover baking sheet with foil (or spray the heated pan later with non-stick spray if you’re not using foil.) Put the baking sheet into the oven and preheat to 425F/220C.
- When the oven has come to temperature, put chicken pieces on the hot baking sheet, spray with non-stick spray if you didn’t use foil, and put it back into the oven, and cook 8 minutes.
- While chicken cooks, trim the broccoli, cut into same-size florets, and put broccoli into a bowl and toss with the peanut oil.
- After 8 minutes, remove baking sheet and tuck the broccoli pieces among the pieces of chicken on the baking sheet. Put it back into the oven and cook 12-14 minutes more, or until chicken and broccoli is done to your liking.
- Brush the hot chicken and broccoli with the reserved glaze, and garnish with black sesame seed (or sesame seeds) if desired. Serve hot
