Ingredients
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs – I love using chicken thighs because they are so tender, but you can also use chicken tenderloin or chicken breast
- Fresh, raw veggies – I used broccoli, brussels sprouts and carrots for this sheet pan meal
- Oil – olive oil or avocado oil are my go to’s, but you can use any neutral oil
- Whole grain mustard – I love using whole grain mustard for a big burst of flavor
- Coconut aminos or soy sauce – use either of these to add some umami to your sheet pan meal
- Salt – salt your meat and veggies to bring out all of the amazing flavors
Ingredient Substitutions
I used broccoli, brussels sprouts and carrots for this meal, but there are so many variations. Some of my favorites are cubed sweet potato, red onions, green beans and cauliflower. Add some olives for a briny addition. Just be sure to chop the veggies in uniform sizes so that they all cook evenly.
The recipe calls for boneless skinless thighs, but you can also use bone-in chicken thighs. Just be sure to add a bit of time to cook. Occasionally I find boneless, skin-on chicken thighs, which would be so delicious to get the crispy skin and juicy chicken thighs.
In my opinion, whole grain mustard is best for the mustard sauce, but you can also use ground dijon mustard, yellow mustard or spicy brown mustard instead.
I like to season this one pan chicken and veggies dish simply with salt and pepper. You could add extra seasoning to it like garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika or crushed red pepper. For a bit of brightness, add some lemon juice.
Garnish your dish with any of your favorite herbs or cheeses. These sheet pan chicken thighs would be great with parsley. I love adding a bit of cheese, like feta cheese or parmesan cheese.
How to Make
Step 1: Preheat oven and prep veggies
To begin, preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Then, chop veggies into bite-size pieces. The vegetables must be chopped small enough that they will cook in the same amount of time as the chicken thighs.
Then, in a small mixing bowl. whisk together the oil, whole grain mustard, coconut aminos (or soy), and salt (Image 1). Pour the mustard sauce all over the chicken and veggies in the bowl (Image 2).
Next, use your hands or tongs to mix up the chicken and veggies so they are evenly coated in the sauce (Image 3). Transfer to a large rimmed baking sheet (Image 4).
Step 3: Bake for 35 minutes
Then, place the sheet pan chicken and veggies in the oven to roast for 35 minutes at 400F. Check that the chicken is cooked with a meat thermometer. You are looking for an internal temperature of 165F.
Finally, remove the sheet pan from the oven and allow to cool slightly before enjoying!
Storage and Reheating
Once prepared, allow the mustard chicken thighs and veggies to cool completely. Place them in an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 4 days.
You can freeze this mustard chicken in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 3 months. Allow it to defrost slowly in the refrigerator and then reheat in the oven. I prefer to use the oven rather than the microwave to reheat this dish.
