Sheet Pan Honey Dijon Chicken

4/27/22

Jump to Recipe Pin Recipe

This Sheet Pan Honey Dijon Chicken with butternut squash is a delicious meal that comes together in 30 minutes – it's great for meal prep.

Sheet Pan Honey Dijon Chicken

Ingredients and substitutions

  • Chicken – I use boneless skinless chicken breasts for this dinner recipe, but you can also make it with chicken thighs.
  • Broccoli – Roasting broccoli is easier to do (and more delicious!) when you use fresh broccoli florets. You can use frozen broccoli, but you won’t have the same results. This is because frozen broccoli has too much moisture in it to crisp up in the oven.
  • Butternut squash – To save yourself some prep time, look in the produce section of your grocery store for the peeled, ready to use squash. If you want to use another variety, acorn squash would be a good option.
  • Red onion – White or yellow onion make great substitutes for the red onion in this recipe.
  • Bell peppers – I like to use red bell pepper, but any type will work.
  • Carrots – This recipe is really versatile so feel free to use any type of root vegetables that you like. Parsnips and rutabaga are delicious options.

Making it on the stovetop

You can make this as a skillet dinner but because the vegetables have different cook times, there are a few extra steps involved.

It's also important to cut the chicken breasts, squash and carrots into small bite-sized pieces. This ensures that they cook completely.

  1. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the seared chicken to a plate.
  2. Place the broccoli florets, squash and carrots into the pan and sauté until slightly tender, about 8 minutes. When they’re tender, set them aside with the chicken.
  3. Add the onion and green beans to the skillet and cook until the onion is translucent.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup of broth or water, chicken, and vegetables back to the skillet. Cook ingredients for about 5 more minutes, until chicken is heated through.
  5. For the sauce, whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl and add to the pan for the last minute of cooking time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I serve on the side?

This sheet pan dinner has plenty of protein and healthy vegetables in it. The only thing missing from the meal is a healthy grain. Healthy side dish options include baked potatoes, quinoa, rice pilaf, risotto or couscous.

What can you use if you don't have Dijon mustard?

Good substitutes for Dijon mustard are honey mustard, brown mustard or yellow mustard in a pinch. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even make homemade Dijon mustard! There are tons of great recipes on Google.

How long does it take to cook chicken on a sheet pan?

It only takes 15 minutes to cook this sheet pan recipe! It’s ready in a flash which makes it a great option for those busy weeknights where you need something quick and delicious.

Storing and reheating

One of the great things about this honey Dijon chicken is that it stores well for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, making it a great meal prep recipe!

When you’re ready to enjoy, you can reheat in the microwave – although keep in mind that microwaving chicken can make it rubbery. Make sure to sprinkle some water over top to avoid this.

For best results, I suggest reheating the chicken on a sheet pan covered in aluminum foil for 15-20 minutes at 400° Fahrenheit. After 15 minutes, take off the foil and continuing cooking until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° Fahrenheit.

Freezing this recipe

You can totally freeze this recipe! Let it cool completely before transferring to airtight glass containers or freezer-safe Ziploc bags and freeze for up to 3 months.

When you’re ready to eat, let it thaw in the fridge overnight then follow the reheating instructions above. You can also thaw the chicken raw in the honey Dijon marinade for up to 3 months.

    I had this at a friend’s house and it was delish. We cooked it 20 minutes longer to make sure carrots were done. It made the squash soft and creamy. We used locally sourced honey.

    Can you freeze the leftovers?

    Yes, the meal is very freezer friendly. Again, just be sure to allow the meal to cool completely before transferring to a freezer-safe container or storage bag.

      Hi Marilyn – yes, you should be able to freeze it. The texture of the vegetables may be a bit different after freezing, but you can freeze the leftovers.

      Hey Jene – you could try freezing it but I wouldn’t advise it. The texture of the cooked vegetables would probably change.
