Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp garlic powder. Brush evenly over 6 chicken thighs.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1.5 lbs halved baby potatoes, 1 medium sliced zucchini, and 1 sliced red bell pepper with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp dried rosemary, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange vegetables around the chicken in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally and vegetables are golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Transfer chicken and vegetables to a platter, drizzle with 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, and sprinkle with 2 tbsp chopped parsley. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
