Every week, I receive several meal kits to test in my kitchen. I test as many recipes as possible to ensure we're sharing the best ones with all of you. Last week while I was away on a business trip, I gave some of the kits away. My gardener, Brian O'Kelly, loves to cook, and was excited to take home one of our time-saving meals - Honey BBQ Chicken Thighs with Broccoli & Creamed Corn. It was a huge hit. Brian, his roommate, and their friends loved every bite. Plus, just as promised on the recipe card, the entire dish was done in less than 40-minutes.

Here is the large recipe card for the Honey BBQ Chicken Thighs with Broccoli & Creamed Corn. Every Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon kit comes with this large recipe card complete with a photo of the finished dish on one side…
… And on the other, the complete how-to, step-by-step instructions and detailed photos to match. These photos help so much when preparing any meal – we make sure there are only six main steps for every dish. We work hard to develop every Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal kit recipe so it is time-saving, easy to make, and most of all delicious.
To start, Brian takes out all the ingredients from the box. Our Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon meal kits are great. All the ingredients are sourced to local quality purveyors and growers – just choose the dishes the week before, and pick the day of delivery – it’s that easy! We provide all the ingredients except salt, pepper, oil, butter, flour and milk – items one usually has right at home.
The first step after Brian pre-heats the broiler, is to prepare the chicken. The meals come with all the ingredients to make a meal for two or four hungry eaters. The chicken is placed onto a rimmed baking sheet, sprinkled with salt and pepper and then drizzled with oil. Then Brian puts the chicken into the oven until it starts to get brown. – about seven minutes.
Then, Brian prepares the BBQ glaze. He combines all the provided honey, tamari, barbecue sauce, and two teaspoons of garlic.
And then instead of stirring in a bowl, he uses a jar and shakes all the ingredients together to mix.
Doing this is just as easy as combining in a small bowl.
Next, Brian cuts the broccoli into one-inch florets.
And then tosses the broccoli with salt, pepper and two tablespoons of oil.
Once the chicken is out of the broiler, Brian uses half of the barbecue glaze and coats each piece of chicken.
Brian spreads the broccoli onto the same baking sheet and returns it to the broiler. It is cooked for another seven minutes depending on the oven – until the chicken is cooked through, the glaze is browned in spots, and the broccoli is lightly charred.
Brian then makes the creamed corn. He melts four tablespoons butter into a large saucepan over medium heat and adds all the corn.
Here, Brian adds the necessary flour and cooks for under a minute.
He adds cream cheese and a cup of milk and a cup of water.
Brian then mixes everything until it is thick and creamy.
Next, he stirs in Parmesan cheese and mixes to combine.
Lastly, Brian slices the chives and uses it to garnish the corn.
The chicken thighs and broccoli florets are fresh from the oven and looking so delicious. The chicken is brushed with any remaining barbecue sauce and then served.
And here is a plateful – just like the photo on the recipe card. The entire meal was cooked in about a half hour. It was easy to prepare and everyone said they’d definitely eat it again. Subscribe to Martha Stewart & Marley Spoon now.
