Scale
Primary Proteins:
- 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
Primary Starches and Vegetables:
- 1 lb red potatoes
- 2 cups baby carrots
- 1.5 cups green beans
Seasonings and Liquids:
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Crank your oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Whisk ¼ cup Dijon mustard, ¼ cup honey, 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 teaspoons minced garlic, salt, and pepper into a smooth glaze.
- Toss 1 pound chopped red potatoes and 2 cups baby carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, salt, and pepper directly on the sheet pan.
- Arrange 6 boneless chicken thighs around the vegetables and generously coat each thigh with half of your prepared mustard glaze.
- Slide the pan into the preheated 400F oven and roast for 25 minutes until vegetables start caramelizing.
- Pull out the pan, scatter 1 ½ cups trimmed green beans across the surface, brush remaining glaze over chicken, and return to oven.
- Continue roasting for 15-20 more minutes until chicken reaches 165F internal temperature and vegetables turn tender and golden.
- Remove from oven and let chicken rest 5 minutes before serving to lock in those juicy flavors.
Notes
- Use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs for maximum flavor and juiciness, as they stay more tender during roasting.
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- For a low-carb version, swap potatoes with cauliflower or turnips and use a sugar-free honey alternative in the glaze.
- Fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary can be sprinkled over the dish before roasting to add an extra layer of aromatic complexity.
