Description

A delicious roasted chicken dish with vibrant vegetables, perfect for a family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ¼ 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 the olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, orange zest, salt, and pepper.
  3. Put the broccoli, carrot, bell pepper, and onion into a large bowl. Add about half of the sauce mixture. Toss to coat all vegetables with sauce.
  4. Place vegetables on the prepared pan. Roast for 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  5. Meanwhile, in the same bowl, add the remaining sauce and the chicken thighs. Turn the chicken thighs until fully coated.
  6. When the vegetables have roasted for 15 minutes, remove the pan and carefully arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the prepared pan. Drizzle any sauce that remains in the bowl over the chicken and vegetables.
  7. Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast until the chicken skin is browned and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers at least 165°F, about 30 minutes.
  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. If desired, squeeze roasted orange quarters over the chicken and vegetables before serving.

Notes

  • Note 1: Zest from one orange can be used for additional flavor, cut into quarters and added while roasting if desired.
