  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Maple Dijon Glaze

  • ⅔ cup pure maple syrup
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Main Ingredients

  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • 2 sweet potatoes, diced
  • 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, sliced in halves
  • 1 red onion, sliced into large pieces
  • 8 slices bacon, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Prepare the Glaze: In a large bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined to form the maple Dijon glaze.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each bone-in, skin-on chicken thigh into the maple Dijon glaze, coating it thoroughly. Place the glazed chicken thighs evenly spaced on the prepared sheet pan.
  4. Toss the Vegetables and Bacon: Add diced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, sliced red onion, and diced bacon into the bowl containing the remaining maple Dijon glaze. Toss everything together until the veggies and bacon are well coated.
  5. Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the coated vegetables and bacon evenly around the chicken thighs on the sheet pan, making sure everything is in a single layer for even cooking.
  6. Bake the Dish: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let rest briefly. Serve the maple Dijon chicken with the roasted veggies and bacon hot for a complete, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • You can substitute bone-in chicken thighs with boneless if preferred, adjusting cooking time accordingly.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the glaze.
  • If maple syrup is unavailable, honey can be used as a substitute with a slightly different sweetness profile.
  • Make sure to cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even roasting.
  • Check the chicken’s internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure safe eating.
