This wholesome and fuss-free dinner is perfect for busy weeknights, offering a delicious balance of protein and vegetables in an easy-to-make sheet pan recipe.

Ingredients

Chicken and Marinade

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (use gluten-free soy sauce for gluten-free option)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Vegetables & Seasonings

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 2 cups green beans, trimmed
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for roasting the ingredients.
  2. Make the marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, minced garlic, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon olive oil until well combined.
  3. Marinate the chicken: Place the chicken thighs or breasts in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour half of the marinade over the chicken. Let it sit while you prepare the vegetables to absorb the flavors.
  4. Prepare sweet potatoes: On a large baking sheet, toss the diced sweet potatoes with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, paprika, salt, and black pepper to coat evenly.
  5. Initial roasting: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 15 minutes to start caramelizing and softening them.
  6. Add chicken and green beans: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, push the sweet potatoes to one side, then arrange the marinated chicken and green beans on the empty side. Drizzle the remaining half of the marinade over everything to enhance flavor.
  7. Final roasting: Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  8. Optional caramelization: For extra browned and caramelized edges, broil the entire sheet pan for 2-3 minutes at the end of cooking—keep a close eye to avoid burning.
  9. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired, and serve the honey garlic chicken with roasted sweet potatoes and green beans hot for a satisfying meal.

Notes

  • You can swap green beans with broccoli or asparagus depending on preference or availability.
  • Use chicken thighs for a juicier result, or chicken breasts if you prefer a leaner option.
  • This recipe is ideal for meal prepping and reheats well, making it convenient for busy weeknights or leftovers.
