Equipment

1 Sheet Pan

Ingredients

For the marinade

  • ⅔ cup apple cider this is the juice
  • 1 cloves garlic
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

For the sheet pan

  • 1 sweet potato small, diced
  • 1 lb brussel sprouts halved
  • 1 white onion small, cut into chunks
  • 1 apple small, cut into chunks (I love honey crisp or pink lady)
  • 1 ½ lb chicken thighs skinless or skin-on
  • Honey mustard sauce optional (I also love store bought chicken sauce too)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F. Combine the marinade ingredients in a jar or bowl and set aside.
    ⅔ cup apple cider, 1 cloves garlic, ¼ cup olive oil, 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon thyme, ½ teaspoon sea salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • If you haven’t already, cut up the vegetables and apple. Place the sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, onion, and apple in a large bag or bowl along with the chicken thighs. Pour the marinade over top and toss well to coat. (If you’re meal prepping this, place the bag in the fridge for up to 5 days.)
    1 sweet potato, 1 lb brussel sprouts, 1 white onion, 1 apple, 1 ½ lb chicken thighs
  • Pour everything onto a baking pan greased with oil or lined with parchment paper. Make sure it’s all in one even layer then bake for 30 - 40 minutes in the oven, tossing half way through. I love to throw on the broiler for an extra 1 - 2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy finish.
  • Serve while warm with honey mustard sauce and enjoy!
