By /

Busy weeknights call for easy, delicious, and nutritious meals. This Sheet Pan Honey Garlic Chicken and Vegetables recipe is the ultimate one-pan wonder. Juicy chicken thighs, crisp-tender vegetables, and a sweet-savory honey garlic glaze come together to create a dish that’s as simple to prepare as it is satisfying to eat.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken and Vegetables:

  • 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup green beans, trimmed
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Honey Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and ground ginger. Set aside.

Step 3: Arrange the Chicken and Vegetables

  1. Place the chicken thighs on the sheet pan and brush with half of the honey garlic sauce.
  2. Arrange the baby potatoes, carrots, green beans, and bell peppers around the chicken. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

Step 4: Bake

  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven, brush the chicken with more honey garlic sauce, and toss the vegetables for even cooking.
  3. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Drizzle any remaining honey garlic sauce over the chicken and vegetables before serving.
  2. Garnish with chopped parsley or sesame seeds for an extra touch.

Tips for Success:

  • Swap the Veggies: Feel free to substitute the listed vegetables with zucchini, broccoli, or sweet potatoes based on what you have on hand.
  • Crispier Skin: For extra crispy chicken skin, broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking.
  • Marinate for More Flavor: Marinate the chicken in the honey garlic sauce for 1-2 hours before cooking for a deeper flavor.
