A flavorful dish combining glazed chicken and caramelized Brussels sprouts roasted together on a sheet pan.

# What You Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, approximately 1.3 lbs
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
04 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Vegetables

05 - 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
06 - 1 medium red onion, cut into wedges
07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
09 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

→ Honey Mustard Glaze

10 - 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
11 - 2 tablespoons honey
12 - 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
13 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
15 - 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
02 - In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and smoked paprika until smooth and well combined.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Place in a large bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add half of the prepared glaze and toss until chicken is evenly coated.
04 - On the prepared baking sheet, combine Brussels sprouts and red onion wedges with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread into an even single layer, leaving space in the center for the chicken.
05 - Nestle the glazed chicken thighs among the vegetables on the sheet pan, distributing them evenly across the surface.
06 - Place in preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
07 - During the final 5 minutes of cooking, remove sheet pan from oven and brush chicken pieces with the remaining honey mustard glaze, then return to oven to finish cooking.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving hot.
