A quick and easy one-pan meal featuring juicy honey mustard glazed chicken breasts roasted alongside tender, caramelized vegetables. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 pounds / 680 grams)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for glaze)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for veggies)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place in a bowl and coat thoroughly with the honey mustard glaze. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
  4. In a large bowl, toss halved baby potatoes, baby carrots, and green beans with olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs if using.
  5. Spread the veggies evenly on a sheet pan in a single layer, leaving space for the chicken breasts.
  6. Place the glazed chicken breasts on the sheet pan, ensuring they are not crowded.
  7. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, checking at 20 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and veggies should be tender and slightly browned.
  8. Halfway through cooking, use tongs or a spatula to turn the chicken and veggies for even roasting.
  9. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching closely to avoid burning.
  10. Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving alongside the roasted veggies.

Notes

[‘Pat chicken dry before glazing to help the glaze stick and avoid steaming.’, ‘Use fresh garlic for better flavor and caramelization.’, ‘Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking.’, ‘Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent soggy veggies.’, ‘Let chicken rest after roasting to keep it juicy.’, ‘Flip chicken and veggies halfway through cooking for even roasting.’, ‘Optional broil at the end for extra crispiness.’, ‘Marinate chicken up to 24 hours ahead for deeper flavor.’, ‘Use fresh veggies rather than frozen for best roasting results.’, ‘Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in oven.’]
