Where our Orange Ginger Glazed Chicken Broccoli Bowl pan-fries the chicken, this meal prep version bakes the chicken and broccoli together on sheet pans, then tosses everything in the orange-ginger glaze, which keeps it glossy for days.

Why this recipe works

Baking avoids batch-frying and gives both chicken and broccoli some browning. Thickened glaze clings and doesn't soak into the rice over several days.

Ingredient notes

Fresh orange zest gives the strongest orange flavor.

Common mistakes

Crowding one pan with everything.
Thin glaze that soaks into the rice.

What to serve with it

Sesame seeds and scallions.
