Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz / 170 g each)
  • 1/4 cup honey (85 g)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped (optional)
  • 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (about 150 g)
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped thyme, salt, and black pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Place them in the bowl with the glaze and turn to coat evenly. Let sit for a few minutes if time allows.
  4. Spread baby potatoes, carrot sticks, broccoli florets, and red onion wedges on a large rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly in a single layer.
  5. Nestle the glazed chicken breasts among the vegetables on the baking sheet. Spoon any remaining glaze over the chicken and veggies.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping the vegetables halfway through. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the pan if desired before serving.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before glazing to ensure proper caramelization. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming the vegetables. Use a meat thermometer to check chicken doneness (165°F/74°C). Flip vegetables halfway through roasting for even browning. Let chicken rest 5 minutes after roasting to lock in juices. Adjust sweetness or tanginess of glaze by adding more honey or mustard as preferred. Tent loosely with foil if browning too quickly.
