Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken and Glaze
- 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 Roasted Vegetables
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cups carrots, sliced
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black 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 the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting both the chicken and the vegetables simultaneously.
- Glaze the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each piece generously with the honey mustard glaze, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the baby potatoes, sliced carrots, and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread the vegetables evenly on another baking sheet in a single layer for even roasting.
- Roast the Vegetables: Place the vegetable tray in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure they become tender and develop a slight golden brown color.
- Bake the Chicken: At the same time, bake the glazed chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), indicating the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.
- Serve: Once cooked, plate the chicken breasts alongside the roasted vegetables. Optionally, drizzle additional honey mustard glaze over the chicken for extra flavor before serving.
Notes
- Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Using parchment paper on the baking sheet makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
- You can substitute baby potatoes with fingerling potatoes or small Yukon gold potatoes.
- Adjust honey amount in the glaze for desired sweetness.
- Stir vegetables halfway through roasting to promote even browning.
