Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 1 lb chicken thighs dry with paper towels and season with 1 tsp garlic powder. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken skin-side down for 5-6 minutes until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for 2 more minutes.
  2. Step 2: Remove chicken from skillet and set aside. Add 2 cups chopped carrots and 1.5 cups broccoli florets to the skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil. Toss to coat and roast for 8 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Whisk together 3 tbsp honey and 2 tbsp Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Pour honey-mustard mixture over roasted vegetables and toss to coat evenly.
  4. Step 4: Return chicken thighs to the skillet, nestling them into the vegetables. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and glaze is bubbling.
