Preparations.

In a saucepan, combine all of your sauce ingredients, and whisk until well combined.

Place your saucepan over medium-low heat.

Stirring constantly, bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let it cook until the sauce is thick and bubbly.

Remove from the heat and allow your sauce to cool at room temperature.

Preheat your oven to 200 C, and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Drizzle half of your prepared sauce on top of the chicken pieces and toss until well-coated.

Place the coated chicken onto your prepared baking sheet, in a single layer.

Bake for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, to ensure even browning.

While your chicken is cooking, combine broccoli, bell pepper, and cashews in a bowl.

Season lightly with salt and pepper, drizzle the remaining sauce on top, and toss well.

Next, carefully remove your sheet pan from the oven and add vegetables around the chicken.

Place sheet pan back into the oven and bake for additional 10-12 minutes until chicken is cooked through, and vegetables are nicely golden brown.

Once done, transfer to serving bowls. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Serve and enjoy.
