Description

A fantastic dish that brings flavor, health, and simplicity to your dinner table, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ÂĽ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 teaspoons grated orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, trimmed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and lightly spray or coat a sheet pan with olive oil.
  2. In a small bowl or measuring cup, whisk together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, orange zest, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Place the broccoli, carrots, bell pepper, and onion into a large mixing bowl. Pour about half of the sauce mixture over the vegetables. Toss to coat every piece of vegetable with the sauce.
  4. Spread the coated vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
  5. While the vegetables are roasting, return to the mixing bowl with the remaining sauce. Add the chicken thighs and turn them around until they are fully coated with sauce.
  6. After the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, carefully remove the pan from the oven. Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the pan. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Place the sheet pan back in the oven and roast until the chicken skin is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F, approximately 30 minutes.
  8. Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If desired, squeeze roasted orange quarters over the chicken and vegetables or serve them on the side.
