Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Trim any excess fat or gristle from the chicken thighs and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
3
In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the olive oil, dijon mustard, maple syrup, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped chicken thighs, chopped red potatoes, and baby carrots.
5
Pour the maple dijon glaze over the chicken and vegetables in the large bowl.
6
Toss everything together until the chicken and vegetables are thoroughly and evenly coated.
7
Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish or sheet pan, spreading it out into a single, even layer. If it's too crowded, use two pans to ensure proper roasting.
8
Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the potatoes are tender.
9
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve.

Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Cut chicken thighs into uniform bite-sized pieces so they cook evenly and caramelize well on the edges.
Chop potatoes smaller than carrots—they take longer to roast—and stir halfway through for even browning.
Whisk the maple syrup, dijon, olive oil, and spices together before tossing with ingredients so the glaze coats everything evenly.
Don't skip the freshly cracked black pepper; it balances the sweetness and adds depth to the glaze.

Substitutions

Dijon mustard → whole grain mustard (slightly coarser texture, more visible seeds)
Maple syrup → honey or agave nectar (adjust sweetness to taste)
Red skin potatoes → baby gold potatoes or fingerlings (similar cook time)
Multi-colored baby carrots → regular carrot batons cut to similar size (halve lengthwise for even cooking)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or on the stovetop over medium heat.

Common Questions

Can I use chicken breasts instead of thighs?

Yes, but thighs stay moister and more flavorful. If using breasts, reduce cooking time by 5–10 minutes and watch for doneness to avoid drying them out.

How do I know when the chicken is cooked through?

Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part. Chicken thighs may cook slightly higher without drying out.

Can I prep this ahead of time?

Yes. Chop vegetables and prepare the glaze up to 24 hours ahead, then toss everything together on the sheet pan right before roasting.

What if my vegetables aren't tender by the time the chicken is done?

Remove the sheet pan midway through cooking and give vegetables a stir to ensure even roasting. Potatoes may take longer than chicken, so chop them smaller.
