How to Make One Pan Honey Garlic Chicken and Vegetables

Ingredients

2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
2 Tablespoons honey
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 1⁄2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Salt and pepper (to taste)
4 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
16 ounces red potatoes (cut into 1-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 ounces frozen green beans (or 16 ounces fresh or frozen broccoli florets)
2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together the glaze ingredients: honey, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, oregano, basil, and melted butter. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
Place the cut potatoes in a single layer on one half of the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Add the chicken breasts in a single layer on the other half of the baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon half of the glaze mixture over the top of the chicken breasts.
Place the tray into the oven and roast for 20 minutes.
Stir in the green beans (or broccoli) and the remaining glaze mixture with the potatoes. Mix everything together.
Move the oven rack to the top shelf. Return the tray to the oven and broil for about 5-10 minutes, until everything is caramelized and slightly charred, the potatoes are fork-tender, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
