Honey Mustard Chicken
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

- 3–4 medium red potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 12 ounces green beans
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, and basil.
- Reserve half of the glaze in a separate clean bowl for later.
- Place the chicken thighs on one side of the prepared sheet pan and the potatoes on the other side.
- Drizzle the potatoes with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
- Season both the chicken and potatoes with salt and pepper.
- Brush the chicken with the glaze that was not reserved.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and add the green beans beside the potatoes.
- Drizzle the reserved glaze over the green beans and potatoes.
- Use tongs to toss the potatoes and green beans until evenly coated.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- For extra color and caramelization, place the pan under the broiler at 500°F for a few seconds until lightly browned.
- Serve warm with the roasted potatoes and green beans.
Tips & Tricks
Reserve the Glaze Early
Always separate the glaze before it touches the raw chicken. This keeps the reserved portion safe to use on the vegetables later.
Cut Potatoes Evenly
Uniform potato pieces help everything cook at the same rate and ensure tender centers.
Watch the Broiler Closely
The honey and brown sugar can caramelize quickly. Stay nearby when broiling to prevent burning.
Try Different Vegetables
Broccoli, carrots, asparagus, or Brussels sprouts can easily be substituted for the green beans.
Add Extra Flavor
A sprinkle of fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving adds brightness to the finished dish.
Perfect for Meal Prep
This meal stores beautifully and makes excellent leftovers for lunch the next day.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the best texture.
Honey Mustard Chicken is proof that a simple sheet pan dinner can still be packed with flavor. With tender chicken, roasted vegetables, and a sweet honey mustard glaze, it’s an easy meal that brings comfort to the table with very little effort.
