Baked Honey Mustard Chicken with Sweet Potato Wedges and Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Tips for Experienced Cooks
Experiment by adding a splash of white wine or apple cider to the honey mustard sauce for extra depth. For perfectly crispy Brussels sprouts, place them cut-side down on the baking sheet and avoid overcrowding. While baking, baste the chicken with any remaining sauce for a richer glaze.
Step 1: Prepare the chicken
Pat the chicken thighs dry and season them all over with the salt and pepper.
- 4 pounds chicken thighs (bone-in and skin-on)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Step 2: Make the honey mustard sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and yogurt until well combined.
- 0.5 cup honey
- 0.25 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
Step 3: Bake the chicken
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place the chicken thighs in a baking dish and brush them evenly with the honey mustard sauce. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Step 4: Prepare the sweet potatoes
While the chicken is baking, toss the sweet potato wedges with the olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Step 5: Roast the Brussels sprouts
On a separate baking sheet, toss the Brussels sprouts with the olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, tossing halfway, until lightly browned and tender.
- 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Step 6: Sauté the onions
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the diced onions in a drizzle of olive oil until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Step 7: Serve
Serve the baked honey mustard chicken with the roasted sweet potato wedges and Brussels sprouts. Garnish with the sautéed onions.
