Ingredients
- 4 (about 1.5 lbs) bone-in chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 cups chopped carrots
- 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat 4 chicken thighs dry with paper towels, then rub with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
