HOW TO MAKE ONE SHEET PAN HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN
Preheat oven to 425 F. Spray a large sheet pan with No Stick Cooking Spray. Alternatively, brush pan with oil.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Place onto sheet pan along with lemon slices.
In a small bowl, combine juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, honey, mustard, paprika, and minced garlic until homogeneous.
Reserve 1/2 of the mixture to use later, and brush the other 1/2 all over chicken thighs.
Pour about 1/2 cup water into the sheet pan, distributing all over. This will prevent honey/mustard mixture from burning in the oven.
Bake for about 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, brush reserved honey mustard mixture over green beans and bell peppers, and season them with salt and pepper.
Remove sheet pan from oven after those 25 minutes and arrange vegetables in a single layer between the chicken thighs. Bake for 10 minutes.
Although not necessary, place sheet pan under broiler to brown chicken skin for about 2-3 minutes. Watch it carefully!
Top chicken with remaining reserved honey mustard mixture and pomegranate seeds. Serve with the vegetables while hot. Enjoy!
Honey Mustard Marinade or Sauce
Although you can use the honey mustard mixture/sauce as a marinade for the chicken, I found it unnecessary.
The recipe is already quite flavorful.
But if you would prefer, place half of the honey mustard mixture and all the chicken thighs in a ziploc bag and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
Then follow the other recipe steps.
PIN & ENJOY!
