Ingredients
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons honey
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Trim and halve the Brussels sprouts. Peel and cube the butternut squash. Spread veggies on a sheet pan.
3. Drizzle vegetables with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and thyme. Toss to coat and arrange in an even layer.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, garlic, 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
5. Pat chicken breasts dry and place them on top of the veggies. Generously coat both sides with the glaze.
6. Roast for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender.
7. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with roasted veggies and drizzle any extra glaze from the pan.
Notes
Use parchment paper on the sheet pan for easy cleanup.
Let the chicken rest after cooking to keep it juicy.
Cut vegetables into even pieces to ensure uniform roasting.
