Instructions
1
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 13x18-inch baking sheet with foil. Coat with cooking spray.
2
Toss together chicken, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl until coated.
3
Sprinkle chicken with flour and toss to coat.
4
Transfer chicken to one side of the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
5
Add broccoli to the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss to coat. Season broccoli with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
6
Bake until chicken is cooked and broccoli is lightly browned, 12 minutes.
7
Meanwhile, whisk together orange juice, soy sauce, cornstarch, honey, rice vinegar, Sriracha, garlic, sesame oil, and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often, until sauce thickens, 4 to 5 minutes.
