Sheet Pan Honey Mustard Chicken & Vegetables a meal that’s easy, absolutely delicious, only 30 minutes and such an easy clean up!
Happy Monday!
I know that it’s Meatless Monday, but you know me. When am I ever one to stick to the rules?
So today is all about Sheet Pan Meals!
Have you ever made a sheet pan meal before?
I haven’t.
Apparently it is suppose to be the new “fade”… or at least that’s what the Food Network is saying. Which we all know is the food “authority” … so I thought I’d give it a try. One pot meals were the rave last year, and they were pretty cool but I never tried it. So this year I was determined to do the sheet pan thing.
Ya’ll … it’s AWESOME!
I think I might just turn JHE into a sheet pan blog. It’s easy, freakin delicious and such an easy clean up! Plus anything that’s made in one pan where all the flavors get to cook together is sure to be a winner!
For this sheet pan meal I thought I would channel my inner autumn self. So I put on a pair of boots, wrapped a scarf around my neck and ….. NOOOO I didn’t do that. It’s 100 degrees outside here in Texas. I just bought a butternut squash and went to it!
The key to this dish is making sure all the vegetables are cut the same size. If you ensure they are the same size they will all cook evenly and everything will be done around the same time.
The best part about this dish is the Honey Mustard glaze that has two different kinds mustards. I slathered it all over the chicken but as it cooks in the oven it starts to spread its gooey deliciousness all over the vegetables. The vegetables will be caramelized on the outside and soft on the inside. To say it’s addicting is an understatement.
I made this dish early in the day … we still had about 2 hours before dinner but I couldn’t help myself. I just kept sneaking vegetables the entire two hours! They were like glorious candy ..
You are going to love this dish! The flavors are incredible, it can be made ahead of time, but even if you choose not to it still only takes 30 minutes to make!
Bon Appetit my friends. I hope its a great start to your week!

HUGE hit!!! I’m not a butternut squash fan but loved this! I don’t eat chicken so I replaced it with turkey tenderloins and it was SO good! This will definitely be a staple for us!
Loved this! Very tasty. Chicken was delicious! No changes necessary. Will be a regular in our meal plans Thanks for a great recipe! 10/10.
wooohoo! So glad to hear it Brenda!
Does the metal baking sheet make a difference in the cooking time or can I use a more decorative cermanic casserole dish for a nicer table presentation? Thank you!
You know, I’m not exactly sure. I would assume it may make a slight difference. I would increase the cook time slightly if you are using the ceramic casserole dish.
The only time I’ve ever done sheet pan meals are just veggies I so need to do more of them with meat! And I’ve been on a big honey mustard kick lately so this sounds perfect
Sounds like this recipe was made for you! 🙂
I love how easy sheet pan meals are and you can’t go wrong with the honey-mustard combo – Yes, I agree that roasted vegetables are totally like candy!
I know, it’s the first time I made one and I don’t know why I’ve waited so long!
From the looks of this Sheet Pan Dinner you should make them at least every week! This looks amazing! I would have to munch on the veggies too!
I know! I just might! It’s so easy to make and clean up is so stinking easy!
I adore sheet pan dinners! This looks incredible!
Thanks Anna!
I’m jumping on the sheet pan train!! This is just stunning, I love the little mustard seeds glazing the chicken, and I agree with you, roasted vegetables are like candy and totally irresistible!
haha… do it girl! It’s totally amazing. And glad I’m not the only one who thinks roasted veggies are candy. 🙂 Foodie soulmates!
I just made a sheet pan chicken dinner last night, and I am hooked! Yours is just gorgeous, and I love the tip to broil at the end. 🙂
Right! They are awesome! I’m totally making another one this week!
Why do I not make sheet pan meals more often?! Putting this on my to do list 🙂
Right! Easy, delicious and one pan to clean up! Seriously genius!
I love sheet pan recipes and the honey mustard flavor is the best. I love that you included my favorite fall veggies too!
Thank you so much Ashley! 😉
I’m definitely a big honey mustard fan here…I pair them for chicken, salad dressings, on sandwiches…such a great combo!
I need to jump on the sheet pan dinner bandwagon…so easy and virtually no cleanup. I roast things all the time in the oven, I just need to put the whole meal together! Yours just may be the one I start with! I even have both mustards… 🙂
It’s a sign, you need to make it if you have both mustards Michelle! You’ll love the flavors, and how easy it is! Plus, one dish to clean up! Holla! 🙂
