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 (for vegetables)
- 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 the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the glaze for the chicken.
- Preheat Oven & Glaze the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush each generously with the prepared honey mustard glaze to ensure even coating and flavor infusion.
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a separate bowl, toss the baby potatoes, carrots, and broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper, making sure the vegetables are evenly coated for roasting.
- Roast the Vegetables: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a separate baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through to promote even cooking and light browning.
- Bake the Chicken: While the vegetables are roasting, place the glazed chicken breasts in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
- Serve: Once both chicken and vegetables are cooked, serve the honey mustard glazed chicken breasts alongside the roasted vegetables. Optionally, drizzle additional honey mustard glaze over the chicken for extra flavor.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to guarantee safety.
- For even cooking, cut vegetables uniformly and stir halfway through roasting.
- Use parchment paper on baking sheets for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Adjustment of glaze ingredients can be made to taste, adding more honey for sweetness or more mustard for tang.
- This meal pairs well with a light green salad or crusty bread for a fuller dinner.
