Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 4 chicken thighs (with bone and skin)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 apples (cored and cut into cubes)
  • 2 carrots (sliced, optional)
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts (trimmed and halved)
  • 2 shallots (peeled and sliced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prep the pan. Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper or foil.
  2. Prep the chicken. Pat the chicken with paper towels to dry and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Brown the chicken thighs. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thighs to the pan, skin-side down, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, until browned. Turn the chicken thighs over and continue to cook for 1 minute longer.
  4. Prepare the vegetables. Meanwhile, while the chicken thighs are cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients. Put the cubed apples, trimmed spouts, carrots (if using), and shallots in a large bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder and toss with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

  5. Make the honey mustard. In a small bowl or cup, combine the mustard and honey; mix well.
  6. Arrange on the sheet pan. Transfer the vegetables to the baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the chicken thighs on the baking sheet, skin-side up, and brush lightly with the honey mustard mixture.
