Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs for juicier meat)

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tsp honey (optional for balance)

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp dried thyme

  • 1 tsp dried rosemary

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

For the Vegetables:

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed

  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved

  • 2 large carrots, sliced

  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • ½ tsp each salt, pepper, and smoked paprika

Directions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Set to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment or foil for easy cleanup.

  • Prepare the Chicken Marinade:
    In a small bowl, whisk Dijon, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper.

  • Coat the Chicken:
    Place chicken breasts in a bowl or resealable bag. Add marinade and coat evenly. Let sit while prepping the vegetables (or marinate up to 12 hours in the fridge).

  • Toss the Vegetables:
    Combine sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, carrots, and red onion with olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.

  • Add the Chicken:
    Arrange marinated chicken breasts on the same sheet (or on a second pan if needed, to avoid crowding).

  • Roast:
    Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping chicken halfway through, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are golden and tender.

  • Serve:
    Plate the chicken with roasted vegetables, drizzle any leftover pan juices on top, and garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon.
