Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 chicken breasts
Glaze Ingredients:
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Vegetable Accompaniment:
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, zucchini)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to exactly 400°F, ensuring the rack sits in the center position for even cooking.
- Whisk together ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper in a medium mixing bowl until completely smooth.
- Pat your chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then generously brush each breast with half of the honey mustard glaze, coating every surface thoroughly.
- Spread your 2 cups of mixed vegetables (chopped carrots, bell peppers, and zucchini) evenly across a large rimmed baking sheet, creating a bed around where you’ll place the chicken.
- Position the glazed chicken breasts directly on top of the vegetables, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
- Drizzle the remaining honey mustard mixture over the vegetables, making sure they are lightly coated.
- Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and roast for precisely 25-30 minutes, checking that chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F at its thickest part.
- Remove the sheet from the oven and let the chicken rest for exactly 5 minutes before slicing and serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
- Check chicken temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 165F for safe consumption.
- Swap out chicken for tofu or tempeh to create a vegetarian version of this dish.
- Use fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary in the honey mustard glaze for extra depth of flavor.
- Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they roast evenly and cook at the same rate.
