Preparation Phase & Tools to Use

Mixing Bowl: Needed for whisking together the honey Dijon glaze and tossing veggies in oil and seasoning.
Tongs or Silicone Spatula: These help in flipping and positioning ingredients without tearing or bruising them.
Parchment Paper or Silicone Baking Mat (Optional): Makes cleanup even easier and prevents sticking.
Meat Thermometer: To ensure your chicken reaches the safe internal temperature of 165°F without overcooking.

Each tool plays a role in delivering perfectly cooked, flavorful results with minimal stress. Once prepped, the oven takes care of the rest!

Ingredients for the Sheet Pan Honey Dijon Chicken with Veggies

Chicken Breasts: The protein star of the dish – tender, lean, and perfect for absorbing the honey mustard glaze.
Brussels Sprouts: When roasted, they get beautifully crisp on the outside and tender inside.
Carrots: Add natural sweetness and vibrant color to the tray.
Potatoes (Yukon gold or red): Provide a hearty, buttery base that soaks up flavor.
Olive Oil: Helps the veggies roast evenly and enhances their natural richness.
Salt & Pepper: Essential for balancing flavors.
Dijon Mustard: Brings bold tanginess to the glaze.
Honey: Sweetens the glaze and helps it caramelize in the oven.
Garlic (minced): Adds aromatic depth to the sauce.
Thyme (fresh or dried): Earthy and herbaceous, perfect for rounding out the glaze.

How To Make the Sheet Pan Honey Dijon Chicken with Veggies

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2: Mix the Glaze

In a bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and thyme until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Season the Veggies

Toss chopped Brussels sprouts, carrots, and potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on the baking sheet, leaving room for the chicken.

Step 4: Glaze the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts on the pan and brush generously with the honey Dijon glaze.

Step 5: Roast to Perfection

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the veggies are golden and tender.

Step 6: Broil (Optional)

For added caramelization, broil the pan for 2-3 minutes, watching closely so it doesn’t burn.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.

How to Serve and Store Sheet Pan Honey Dijon Chicken

Serve hot from the oven with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for brightness. It pairs wonderfully with a side salad or a warm crusty bread to soak up the extra glaze.

For storing, let everything cool before transferring to airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, and consider adding a splash of water to maintain moisture.

This dish is also freezer-friendly – just slice the chicken and freeze with the veggies in portions. Reheat straight from frozen or thaw overnight in the fridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I keep the chicken from drying out?

Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and remove the chicken right at 165°F. Cover with foil to rest.

Can I use chicken thighs instead?

Absolutely! Just adjust the cooking time slightly longer, as thighs take a bit more time to cook through.

What vegetables can I substitute?

Broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, or sweet potatoes work great in this recipe.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

Yes! You can prep the veggies and glaze the chicken up to 24 hours in advance. Just store everything separately in the fridge until ready to bake.

Is this recipe gluten-free?

Yes, all the ingredients are naturally gluten-free – just ensure your mustard and spices are certified if needed.

Can I double the recipe?
