Chicken and Vegetables
- 8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
- 16 ounces baby red potatoes, halved
- 16 ounces baby carrots
- 16 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Sauce
- 1/2 cup reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- Prepare the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the reduced sodium soy sauce, honey, ketchup, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Prep the Chicken and Veggies: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Halve the baby red potatoes, trim the green beans, and prepare the baby carrots by rinsing thoroughly.
- Combine Everything: In a large baking dish or roasting pan, arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up. Surround them with the halved potatoes, baby carrots, and green beans. Pour the honey garlic sauce evenly over the chicken and vegetables, making sure everything is well coated.
- Bake the Dish: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the chicken and vegetables for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender. Baste the chicken with the sauce halfway through cooking for extra flavor.
- Finish and Garnish: Once done, remove the baking dish from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top for a bright, fresh finish before serving.
Notes
- Bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs are recommended for the best flavor and texture, but boneless can be used if preferred—adjust cooking time accordingly.
- If you like spicier food, increase the crushed red pepper flakes or add a dash of cayenne pepper.
- You can substitute the green beans with other vegetables like asparagus or broccoli if desired.
- For a thicker sauce, you can place the sauce mixture into a small saucepan and simmer on low until it reduces before baking.
- This recipe works well for meal prep and can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
