Ingredients

2 cups Brussels sprouts (halved)
2 cups squash, butternut (peeled and cubed)
3 apples (cored and sliced into thick wedges)
1 onion, red (peeled and cut into half moons)
4 chicken thigh (bone-on / skin-on)
  salt (to taste)
  black pepper (to taste)
1 tablespoon olive oil
  rosemary, fresh (minced (to taste))
  thyme, fresh (minced (to taste))
1⁄4 cup honey
1⁄4 cup Mustard, Dijon
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 garlic (minced)
  black pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk all Dijon sauce ingredients together. Set aside.

Arrange Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, apples, and onion on a large sheet pan – drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Toss to coat.

Place chicken thighs on the pan with veggie mix. Spoon sauce evenly over each chicken thigh. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping veggies mix halfway through - chicken should be browned and cooked through, veggie mix should be soft and slightly browned. 

Sprinkle with fresh rosemary and thyme to taste and serve.
