Sheet Pan Mustard Chicken With Roasted Butternut Squash Food

SHEET PAN MAPLE-DIJON CHICKEN WITH ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 F. Prepare a large rimmed baking sheet (line it with aluminum foil, if you like).
• Season chicken thighs (skin-on, bone-in) with salt and pepper on both sides.
• In a medium bowl, whisk maple syrup and Dijon mustard.
• Dip each chicken thigh on both sides into maple-dijon mixture and place on a prepared baking sheet, skin side up, leaving space between all chicken thighs.
• Add cubed butternut squash into the same bowl with the remaining maple-dijon mixture, mix to coat, and add butternut squash on the baking sheet around the chicken, in one layer. If you run out of maple-Dijon mixture, whisk a little bit more.
• In a separate, medium bowl, combine Brussels sprouts, olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, mix to combine. Then add Brussels sprouts on the baking sheet around the chicken, in one layer.
• Roast for 30 or 40 minutes at 425 F, uncovered, until the chicken is cooked through.
