HONEY MUSTARD CHICKEN & BRUSSELS

I’m on a minimal ingredient recipe kick and I’m loving every minute of it. This recipe is inspired by a fridge hunting activity to make dinner out of whatever I have leftover in a scant fridge. My basic musts are a protein, a vegetable, and a sauce to jazz it up. All that’s needed for this sheet pan dinner recipe are honey mustard chicken & brussels.

Today I’m pulling together bone-in chicken thighs, brussels sprouts, and a mayo based honey mustard sauce for dinner. Now I know we all hate this word, but there’s just no more accurate verbiage to describe it than moist. The mayo in this honey mustard sauce keeps the chicken thighs super moist and adds tons of flavor.

The fabulous thing about this recipe is that it’s so flexible. You could easily use this sauce on some salmon or substitute your vegetable for green beans, peppers, or broccoli. Of course, this may impact cook time! The real key for a successful sheet pan meal is timing though. So you want to choose a vegetable that will cook in the same amount of time as your protein.

Once we choose a protein and vegetable that time together correctly, the rest is easy peasy. Slather on your honey mustard sauce, toss it in the oven with a timer, and you’re chillin’ until the timer goes off. Personally, I like to use this time to clean my kitchen so that I don’t have to worry about it after I’m done eating. Are you a clean while you cook type of person? I just can’t stand a mess!

 I use bone in and skin on chicken thighs for this sheet pan honey mustard chicken & brussels recipe, it makes for a crispy, flavorful dish. It would probably work just fine with chicken cutlets or tenders as well.
