A quick and easy weeknight dinner featuring crispy chicken breasts glazed with a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce, roasted alongside tender vegetables for a flavorful one-pan meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 700 g), patted dry
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil for a milder flavor)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups baby carrots (or chopped regular carrots)
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced into strips
  • 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until smooth. Set aside.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle salt and pepper, then brush half of the honey mustard sauce evenly over each piece. Reserve the rest of the sauce.
  4. In a large bowl, combine baby carrots, Brussels sprouts, bell pepper, and red onion. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat well.
  5. Place the chicken breasts in the center of a large baking sheet, leaving space around them. Scatter the vegetables evenly around the chicken.
  6. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove the pan and flip the chicken breasts over using tongs. Brush the chicken with the remaining honey mustard sauce and toss the vegetables to turn them for even cooking.
  7. Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Serve the sliced chicken alongside the roasted vegetables, spooning any pan juices over for extra flavor.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Brush honey mustard glaze twice for a sticky, caramelized finish. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Vegetables can be removed earlier if they cook faster than chicken. Use a meat thermometer for best results. For leftovers, reheat in oven at 350°F for 10 minutes to maintain crispiness.
