A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy honey mustard glazed chicken thighs and perfectly roasted broccoli, ideal for busy weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin)
  • 2 tablespoons honey (raw preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (or 2 cloves minced garlic)
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: a squeeze of lemon juice after roasting

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Add chicken to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Let sit for 10-15 minutes if time allows.
  4. Toss broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Arrange chicken thighs skin side up on one side of a sheet pan, spacing them out for air circulation. Spread broccoli on the other side in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until chicken skin is golden and crispy and broccoli edges are charred. Chicken internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over broccoli if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken skin dry before marinating and use baking powder in the marinade to achieve extra crispy skin without drying the meat. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper air circulation. Broccoli can be swapped with green beans, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts. For chicken breasts, reduce cooking time to 20-25 minutes. Use gluten-free baking powder for a gluten-free version.
