Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Vegetables:
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups carrots, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Honey Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting both the chicken and the vegetables.
- Glaze the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each chicken breast generously with the prepared honey mustard glaze, ensuring an even coating.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the halved baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet in a single layer. Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking and slight browning.
- Bake the Chicken: While the vegetables are roasting, bake the glazed chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is fully cooked through.
- Serve: Once both the chicken and vegetables are cooked, arrange the chicken breasts on plates with a side of roasted vegetables. Optionally, drizzle extra honey mustard glaze over the chicken before serving for added flavor.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness for best results.
- Adjust the amount of honey in the glaze for a sweeter or less sweet flavor.
- Feel free to substitute vegetables with seasonal favorites like bell peppers or zucchini.
- For crispier vegetables, spread them out evenly and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
