balsamic chicken and brussels sprouts on a sheet pan with roasted sweet potatoes

One Pan Balsamic Chicken & Brussels Sprouts

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring spoons and cups
  • mixing bowls

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 lb fresh brussels sprouts halved
  • 1-2 cups cubed sweet potatoes or potatoes
  • 1 small red onion sliced (optional)
  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice optional
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil divided
  • 1 tsp garlic & herb seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or parchment paper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare a large baking sheet by greasing with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, maple syrup (or brown sugar), lemon juice if using, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Pour the balsamic mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Let the chicken marinate for at least 10–15 minutes while you prep the vegetables.
  • Wash and slice the brussels sprouts in half. Cube the sweet potatoes into small, even pieces. If using red onion, slice into wedges or thick strips.
  • Place brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, and onion onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and a little extra balsamic glaze if desired. Season with garlic & herb seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat.
  • Add the marinated chicken thighs to the baking sheet, spreading everything out into a single layer. Pour any leftover marinade over the top of the chicken and veggies.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.
  • For extra color and caramelization, broil on medium heat for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
  • Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
