How to make sheet pan chicken
- Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, olive oil, honey, lemon, thyme, chilli flakes, salt and pepper. Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels then season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Bake the chicken: Place the chicken, skin-side up, into a sheet pan or baking sheet. Peel the potatoes and cube. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the potatoes in between the chicken. Brush the honey mustard sauce over the chicken. Place the sheet pan in the oven and allow to roast for 30 minutes.
- Add the broccolini: While the chicken is baking, toss the broccoli with a tablespoon of oil and season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the oven, flip the potatoes then add the broccolini. Place back in the oven and allow to bake for another 15-20 minutes until the chicken and potatoes are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the oven and serve.
Can I make this ahead?
Sheet pan dinners are great to prepare ahead. Assemble the chicken and potatoes in a sheet pan or suitable baking dish then cover with foil and place in the refrigerator up to a day in advance. Allow to come to room temperature and bake as instructed. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
