How do I know when my chicken is done?
- The best way to tell if chicken has reached a safe temperature to eat is by using a meat thermometer. In the thickest part of the chicken, check to see if the temperature is at least 165°F.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can make a small slice in the thickest part of the chicken to see if the meat is still pink. If it has any pink, then it's not ready, but if it is white through out, then it's ready to eat.

Step 2: Toss the broccoli with oil, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Add the chicken breasts to the sheet pan. Add the orange slices to the chicken and broccoli.
Baking Instructions
Step 4: Bake in a 350° F oven for 25 minutes. When the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165° F, remove and garnish with sesame seeds and chili flakes.
Quick Tip
Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes before cutting so the juices have a chance to redistribute through the meat, and not all over your cutting board.

Thawing: Place in the refrigerator overnight and reheat using the steps listed above below.
Reheat in Oven: Wrap the chicken in foil and baking at 350° F for about 10 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165° F.
Reheat in Microwave: Cover the chicken with a damp paper towel and heat for one minute, flip and continue cooking in 30 second intervals until it reaches 165° F.

Prevent dry chicken by using a marinade and ensuring even-sized pieces, which helps them cook at the same rate. An instant-read thermometer is your best friend! Cook until the chicken reaches 165°F, then tent with foil to keep it juicy.
Using parchment paper can help prevent the chicken and vegetables from sticking to the sheet pan and make for easier clean-up. However, keep in mind that using parchment paper may impact the crisping and browning of the chicken and broccoli.
