Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 lb broccoli florets
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken pieces with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges to the bowl with the chicken. Pour the maple Dijon sauce over everything and toss gently to coat evenly.
Spread the chicken and vegetables in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Serve hot.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables like Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, or carrots. Adjust baking time as needed for denser vegetables.
Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
