Ingredients

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into sticks
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:

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

  2. Prepare the Maple Dijon Glaze:

    • In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. Coat the Chicken and Vegetables:

    • Place the chicken breasts, Brussels sprouts, and carrots on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle half of the maple dijon glaze over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat evenly.

  4. Bake:

    • Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

  5. Reapply Glaze:

    • After 20 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Drizzle the remaining maple dijon glaze over the chicken and vegetables, tossing to coat again.

  6. Continue Baking:

    • Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized, flipping the chicken and stirring the vegetables halfway through cooking.

  7. Garnish and Serve:

    • Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired, before serving.

  8. Serve:

    • Serve the Sheet Pan Maple Dijon Chicken hot, with a side of rice, quinoa, or mashed potatoes, if desired.

Tips

  • Customize vegetables: Feel free to substitute or add other vegetables such as potatoes, parsnips, or sweet potatoes to suit your taste preferences.
  • Make it ahead: You can marinate the chicken in the maple dijon glaze for extra flavor. Just refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking.
  • Double the glaze: If you prefer extra sauce, you can double the ingredients for the maple dijon glaze and reserve some for serving.
