Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 3 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil (divided)
- 3 cups mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, zucchini, carrots, broccoli)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush the honey mustard glaze generously over each piece.
- In a separate bowl, toss the chopped vegetables with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread the vegetables on the other side of the baking sheet in a single layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender with slightly caramelized edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme if desired. Serve warm with the roasted vegetables.
Notes
- To add a crunchy texture, sprinkle toasted nuts like almonds or pecans over the dish before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or a skillet until warmed through.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand!
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used instead of chicken breasts for a richer flavor.
