Ingredients
  

For the Honey Dijon Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Roasted Veggies:

2 cups broccoli florets

2 cups baby carrots

1 red bell pepper, sliced

1 yellow bell pepper, sliced

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Italian herbs

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to get it ready for roasting.

    Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts to the bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes (or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for more flavor).

      Prepare the Veggies: While the chicken is marinating, prepare the vegetables. In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, baby carrots, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle salt, pepper, and Italian herbs over the veggies. Toss until everything is evenly coated.

        Roast the Veggies: Spread the prepared vegetables in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they are tender and slightly caramelized.

          Cook the Chicken: In a separate baking dish, place the marinated chicken breasts. Bake alongside the vegetables in the oven (if space allows) for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

            Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken and veggies from the oven. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it. Serve the honey Dijon chicken garnished with fresh parsley, alongside a generous portion of the roasted veggies.

              Enjoy! Relish this wholesome meal that combines the sweetness of honey with the tanginess of Dijon, perfectly complementing the roasted vegetables.
