Here’s How to Make Sheet Pan Honey Mustard Chicken
Prepare the ingredients: Clean and trim the Brussels sprouts, slice the onions, peel the butternut squash and cut it into chunks similar to the Brussels sprouts.
Cut the potatoes into chunks or cut them in half if you are using baby potatoes.
Mix the sauce ingredients (oil, balsamic, crushed garlic, honey, mustard, and lemon juice) in a small bowl and set it aside.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
STEP 1: Arrange the vegetables on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer; add 1/2 of the sauce mixture and gently toss the veggies and the sauce together.
STEP 2: Place chicken breasts onto the sheet pan with the vegetables. Use a basting brush to brush the remaining sauce onto the chicken.
STEP 3: Place the sheet pan into the hot oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes. Check the temperature of the chicken and the texture of the vegetables. If they are not done, continue to cook.
Note: Baking time can vary depending on the size of the chicken and vegetable pieces. Your dinner will be ready when the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F.
Ingredient Notes and Substitutions
Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts. Boneless chicken breasts are my preference when I make this recipe, and they can be substituted with boneless chicken thighs or bone-in breasts or thighs.
You will need to adjust the cooking time if you used bone-in chicken.
Vegetables. Any combination of your favorite seasonal vegetables can be used in this recipe, such as green beans, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, summer squash, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower.
Fresh garlic can be substituted with 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder for each garlic clove used in this recipe.
Potatoes – The best potatoes to use for roasting are fingerling potatoes, new potatoes, Yukon gold, or red potatoes.
Honey – If honey isn’t available, you can substitute it with maple syrup or brown rice syurp.
Make Ahead Instructions
Sheet pan meals are perfect for prepping ahead of time and this simple recipe is no exception. To get a head start on this no-fuss dinner, all that you have to do is cut up the veggies while you are preparing another meal.
Store them in separate containers in the refrigerator for two to three days. When it’s time to make your chicken sheet pan dinner, add the prepared ingredients to the baking sheet, drizzle on the sauce, and bake!
Storing and Using Leftovers
Store your leftover chicken sheet pan dinner in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Serve leftovers for lunch during the week or another quick dinner.
Reheat leftovers covered in the oven at 325 degrees F until the ingredients are heated through or in the microwave.
Try an instant-read meat thermometer for the quickest and best results.
Recipe Variations
Boneless Pork Chop Sheetpan dinner. Instead of boneless chicken, use boneless pork chops.
Change up the Sauce. Replace the balsamic vinegar with an equal amount of tamari or soy sauce. Or use a simple basting sauce of honey, mustard, garlic oil, and lemon juice.
Add Fresh Herbs. Add any fresh herbs during the last 5 minutes of cooking, such as thyme, rosemary, tarragon, sage, oregano, and basil.
Serving Suggestions
Even though this delicious dinner recipe is a whole meal by itself, you can get an extra serving of vegetables when you serve it with a side salad like arugula or spinach salad and a warm loaf of crusty bread.
💡Tips
- If the chicken breasts are large, cut them in half, ensuring they are similar in size so they will cook evenly.
- Try using pre-cut butternut squash for an even faster chicken dinner.
- Double the sauce and serve extra on the side.
Yes, you can make sheet pan recipes in any large skillet. The skillet needs to be large enough to fit all of the ingredients in an even layer.
Sprinkle the chicken breasts with a little bit of sea salt about 30 minutes before cooking them or you can baste them periodically while they are cooking.
It is not recommend to use thawed chicken to make sheet-pan chicken which will ensure even cooking.
