Description

A comforting, easy one-pan dinner featuring juicy chicken thighs and crispy Brussels sprouts tossed in a sweet and tangy maple Dijon glaze. Perfect for busy weeknights when you need a nourishing meal with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale

1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
1 pound Brussels sprouts, halved
3 tablespoons real maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly cracked black pepper
Optional: Fresh thyme or rosemary
Optional: Red pepper flakes
Optional: Sliced apples or pears

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a smooth sauce.
Pat chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Add chicken and Brussels sprouts to the bowl and toss until evenly coated in the sauce.
Arrange chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not crowded to allow for proper roasting.
Roast for 20 minutes. Remove pan and flip the chicken thighs.
Return to oven and roast for another 5-10 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and Brussels sprouts are crispy and browned.
Remove from oven and let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh thyme or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before tossing to ensure browning. Do not crowd the pan to prevent steaming. Brussels sprouts should be uniform in size for even cooking. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
