Ingredients:

• 4 chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless)
• 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
• 1 cup carrots, sliced
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare the Veggies:
Place the baby potatoes, carrots, and broccoli on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Make the Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a small bowl, whisk together the minced garlic, honey, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard (if using). Set aside.

Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them on the baking sheet with the veggies.

Coat with Sauce:
Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables. Make sure to coat everything well.

Roast the Dish:
Roast in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender. If using bone-in chicken, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). You can broil for an additional 2-3 minutes to get the chicken skin crispy.

Garnish and Serve:
Once everything is roasted, remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips:

• Vegetable Variations: Feel free to swap out vegetables based on your preferences. Sweet potatoes, zucchini, or bell peppers can work great in this recipe as well.
• Use Boneless Chicken: If you prefer boneless chicken, you can use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, and adjust the cooking time accordingly.
• Extra Sauce: If you love the honey garlic sauce, you can double the sauce ingredients for extra flavor and drizzle more over the chicken and veggies before serving.
