A quick and flavorful sheet pan dinner featuring crispy honey mustard glazed chicken breasts paired with tender roasted broccoli, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups broccoli florets (about 300 g)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnishes: fresh parsley or chives, chopped; red chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Adjust sweetness or tang to taste.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in the bowl with the sauce and toss until each piece is well coated. Marinate for 10 minutes if possible.
  4. Toss broccoli florets in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on one side of a large rimmed baking sheet.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts on the other side of the sheet pan.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes. After about 15 minutes, flip the chicken and toss the broccoli to ensure even cooking and browning.
  7. Optional: Broil for the last 3-5 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley or chili flakes if desired and serve immediately with the roasted broccoli.

Notes

Pat chicken dry before saucing to ensure crispiness. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper air circulation. Use an instant-read thermometer to check doneness (165°F / 74°C). Broil briefly at the end for extra crispiness but watch carefully to avoid burning the sauce. Marinating for 10 minutes enhances flavor but can be skipped if short on time.
