Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Glaze
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and chopped
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste (for vegetables)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the chicken and vegetables evenly.
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper until well combined to create a flavorful honey mustard sauce.
- Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the honey mustard mixture over them, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated to infuse the chicken with sweet and tangy flavor during baking.
- Prepare the vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the quartered baby red potatoes, chopped carrots, and chopped red onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper to evenly coat them for roasting.
- Arrange in baking dish: Spread the coated vegetables around the chicken breasts in the baking dish, making sure to distribute them evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the honey mustard glazed chicken hot alongside the roasted vegetables. Enjoy your hearty and delicious meal!
Notes
- You can use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is perfectly cooked.
- Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables like green beans or Brussels sprouts.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
