Description
Prepare a complete, flavorful chicken dinner using just one pan for easy cleanup. This recipe features chicken coated in a tangy Dijon mustard sauce roasted alongside fresh green beans and sweet shallots.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 lb fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 large shallots, peeled and quartered
- 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, thyme, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
- Place the chicken pieces on one side of the prepared baking sheet. Brush half of the Dijon glaze evenly over the chicken.
- Place the trimmed green beans and quartered shallots on the other side of the baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining glaze over the vegetables and toss them gently to coat.
- Arrange the chicken, green beans, and shallots in a single layer, ensuring they are not overly crowded.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the green beans are tender-crisp.
- Remove from the oven. Serve the chicken and vegetables immediately with fresh lemon wedges.
Notes
- For crispier green beans, add them to the pan about 10 minutes after the chicken has started roasting.
- If you prefer thicker chicken pieces, pound them to an even thickness before glazing to promote even cooking.
- You can substitute chicken thighs for breasts; thighs may require 5-7 minutes longer cooking time.
