This one-pot baked chicken and veggie dish is one that I fall back on during those mid-week slumps when I would drag myself to start prepping for dinner. Not only is it super easy to make, but you get a healthy dinner as well!

I absolutely love how it’s one of those dishes where you can throw in whatever ingredients you have on hand and adjust accordingly. Perfect for those times when you need to finish off whatever’s left in the fridge before your next grocery shopping trip!

One-Pot Wonder

After prepping the ingredients for 15-20 minutes, then leaving the chicken to marinate, you just need to pop this baby into the oven and now all you have to do is wait! You’ll get juicy, tender chicken thighs baked to golden perfection with carrots, gai lan, a bit of onion and garlic cloves.

The savory sauce is more of an Asian fusion of sorts, containing favorites that I often use with my cooking: oyster sauce, light soy sauce, Sriracha, ketchup and sesame oil.

This one-pot chicken dish is nourishing and flavorful, with minimal pots to wash at the end of the day!

NOTES FOR ONE-POT BAKED CHICKEN AND VEGGIES

  • Chicken – I like using chicken thighs as it’s juicy and tender after baking.
  • Seasoning – For me, the sauce is enough to flavor the chicken. But an optional step is to lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Substitute veggies – Bok choy and potatoes are great add ons or substitutes for this dish.
  • Garlic cloves – If you don’t like whole garlic cloves, feel free to slice it instead.
  • Storage – Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate. It can last up to 3 days.

This One-Pot Baked Chicken and Veggies dish is an easy and healthy option that's great for weekday meals. Juicy, tender chicken thighs with carrots and gai lan cooked in a delicious savory sauce!
Prep Time40 mins
Cook Time1 hr
Total Time1 hr 40 mins
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Asian
Keyword: baked chicken, dinner ideas, easy recipe, healty recipe, lunch ideas, one pot recipe
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 chicken thighs
  • 1/2 onion sliced thickly/quartered
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1 carrot peeled and cut to 1/4" thick slices
  • 1 stalk gai lan stem and leaves separated and sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter

Sauce/Marinade

  • 2 tbsp oyster sauce
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tbsp sriracha/chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  • Mix the sauce ingredients and stir until well combined.
  • Optional step: Lightly season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper (see notes).
  • Place chicken skin side up and veggies (except leafy part) in an oven safe dish and pour the sauce all over.
  • Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes and preheat oven at 400°F.
  • Dice the butter and scatter it all over the marinated chicken and veggies.
  • Bake uncovered for 45 minutes and carefully remove from the oven to add the leafy part.
  • With a spoon, gently "tuck in" the leaves under the chicken and other veggies so it's partially covered to prevent burning.
  • Cook for another 15 minutes and serve with rice and chicken au jus. Enjoy!

Notes

*For me, the sauce is enough to flavor the chicken. But an optional step is to lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper.
*Serve with the “sauce” that is formed from the chicken dripping and marinade. 
*At the 45-minute mark, taste and adjust for seasoning if needed.
*You can add/use any veggies to this. Bok choy and potatoes are also great for this.
*If you don’t like whole garlic cloves, feel free to slice it instead.
*The longer you marinate, the better.

Dry Chili Pan Mee and Malaysian Style Honey Chicke Dry Chili Pan Mee and Malaysian Style Honey Chicken Wings (recipe coming soon) for lunch yesterday. I used my favorite oyster sauce that I have loved and used for years from @leekumkeeusa for both dishes.
Oyster sauce is one of my kitchen staples and it gives the perfect umami flavor to any dish. I use it a lot for marinating, stir frying and as a sauce ingredient. Ever since I started cooking, I've always used the oyster sauce from @leekumkeeusa . My family uses this too! So I'm so excited to be collaborating with them on this ☺ They sent over a few bottles together with super cute Lee Kum Kee goodies!
You can find the full recipe for the Dry Chili Pan Mee if you search it on my website. Link in bio.

My love language is quality time. Like everyone My love language is quality time. 
Like everyone else, we weren’t able to see people as much because of the pandemic. So now I cherish the times I spend with the people I love even more. Food has always been an integral part of that as well. Whenever we go out to meet people, we’re always meeting for breakfast, lunch or dinner. When we invite people over, I’m always cooking up a feast for them because I genuinely enjoy making food for others. I like to believe food is also my love language (although that’s not technically right, let me believe what I want to believe ok 😌).
As a foodie, I enjoy food a lot and LOVE trying new types of food. But I also love how food brings people together. The holiday season is always the best time in my opinion because of this. So I’m extremely excited for the next few weeks ☺️
Whatever your holidays may look like or what your love language is, I hope you’re able to take some time to slow down and appreciate the people around you. Don’t forget to take some time for self care as well and enjoy all the amazing food of course!

Salmon mentai 🍣 This is a must order for me w Salmon mentai 🍣 
This is a must order for me when we go to Japanese restaurants back in Malaysia. It’s basically flame seared salmon with a creamy spicy mayo pollack roe sauce. It’s the best 🤤 Since they don’t serve this at Japanese restaurants here, I started making it myself at home. Either as a nigiri or rice bowl. 
@culinaryjochef was kind enough to send me their Superior RX refillable blowtorch so I can make this and many other recipes 😍 I’ll be honest, I was scared at first 😆 my husband is usually the one doing these things for me. But the instructions were clear and detailed and it was so easy to use, I felt comfortable using it almost immediately. Swipe to see it in action and some salmon mentai goodness 🤤 
It also comes as a bundle with a butane fuel so I don’t have to go out and look for one that fits. It comes with a free recipe ebook of so many foods you can make with their blowtorch. I highly recommend this, check them out.
If you want to make your own salmon mentai, you can find the full recipe for “Salmon Mentai Aburi Don” on farahjeats.com. Link in bio 💛

Fried rice is one of the best meals in my opinion Fried rice is one of the best meals in my opinion because for such an easy dish, it’s so satisfying. I like my fried rice spicy so one of my fav recipes is this Chili Oil Spam Fried Rice. It’s easy, spicy and delicious. 
For this particular one, I decided to swap out my chili oil for 1 tsp of @pepperexchange’s Red Habanero pepper puree and omg, it’s so good. Definitely hot but just the way I like it 😉

Miso Garlic Butter Salmon 😍 I’ve been making Miso Garlic Butter Salmon 😍
I’ve been making this a lot lately and we always have leftovers because I tend to cook like I’m feeding an army when it’s really just two and sometimes three people in this house 😂 not complaining though because although this salmon is so good with just white rice, it’s great for other things too. Like salad or for wraps! There’s a viral salmon rice food trend lately and this is so good for that too. However you eat it, this salmon recipe is definitely a must try 😍

Korean Fire Chicken with Cheese or Cheese Buldak 🥵 Swipe for some cheese pull action.
This hot and subtly sweet sauce chicken is so addictive! Add the cheese and it’s *chef’s kiss*
I had this a few weeks ago at a Korean restaurant and I couldn’t stop thinking about it. It was served with white rice and it was so SO good. Mike and I got this to share but I’m pretty sure I ate like more than half 😂
Tried recreating it at home and after a few tries, I think I made the perfect buldak sauce but I could be biased 🤪 I like it really hot but you can adjust the heat level based on your preference. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think.

Chinese style Lemon Chicken 🍋 This is a favor Chinese style Lemon Chicken 🍋 
This is a favorite of mine when we go to Chinese restaurants and it’s so easy to make at home! Although not as popular in the western food world as its sister dish the orange chicken, I think it’s just as good if not (dare I say it) better! It’s the perfect balance of sweet and tangy with every bite of the crispy chicken.
I like eating this with rice but it’s so good on its own too. Make this for your next meal 😋

Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp 🍤 This popular local H Hawaiian Garlic Shrimp 🍤 
This popular local Hawaiian dish is definitely my kind of meal. It’s garlicky and flavorful— and made with just a few simple ingredients that you probably already have at home! 
Usually cooked and eaten with the shell on and since it’s shallow fried, it makes the shell crispy. I personally love eating it this way but if you can always peel it off. 
Here’s what you’ll need:
Shrimp
Corn starch
Paprika 
Cayenne
Salt
Garlic
Butter
Lemon
