Ingredients

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons honey
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon fresh rosemary finely chopped
1 sweet potato peeled + diced
1 cup brussel sprouts halved, outer leaves removed
1 apple cored, chopped into ¾ inch pieces
1 red onion cut into ¾ pieces
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425º F. Line a sheet tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper or use a nonstick sheet tray.
In an extra large liquid measuring cup (or small mixing bowl), whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 3 tablespoons of honey, ¼ cup of balsamic vinegar, 3 garlic cloves,2 tablespoons of dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon of fresh rosemary. Season with a big pinch of both salt and pepper.
Add the 1 sweet potato diced,1 cup of halved Brussels sprouts, 1 peeled and chopped apple, and 1 large chopped red onion to the sheet pan scattered around the 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts.
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel, then season both the chicken and veggies liberally with salt and pepper.
Set aside and reserve ¼ cup of the balsamic sauce, then drizzle the rest over the vegetables and chicken tossing to coat. (I like to use tongs for this)
Roast in the oven for 20 minutes or until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°F. (chicken breasts may need a few minutes longer than thighs)
Meanwhile, add the reserved balsamic mixture to a small skillet or saucepan and heat over medium-high heat for 1 minute until it thickens slightly.
After pulling the chicken and vegetables out of the oven, coat the chicken with the balsamic glaze (using a spoon or a pastry brush).

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

To complete the meal serve with a side of grains like farro, brown rice, or quinoa.

SWAP SUGGESTIONS

Vegetarian: Remove the chicken from the recipe and increase double the vegetables. Serve over hearty grains.
Chicken: Swap boneless skinless chicken thighs with chicken breasts and adjust cooking time as needed until you reach 165º F. (usually takes a few EXTRA minutes) For a vegetarian option, swap chicken for tofu. This is my favorite digital thermometer for checking protein temp.
