Your oven’s broiler can do more than just add a little color. In this simple salad, it becomes a weeknight hero, turning out perfectly charred chicken thighs, cabbage, and crisp-tender green beans in less than 20 minutes. Coat everything in the simple soy and rice vinegar dressing amped up with nutty sesame oil and a generous squeeze of tangy, spicy sriracha. If you don’t have honey on hand, feel free to swap with maple syrup.
