Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the honey and Dijon mustard. Add in olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well-blended.
  3. Place the chicken thighs in a large bowl. Pour half of the honey Dijon marinade over the chicken and toss to coat.
  4. In another bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes and halved Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss until coated.
Assembly and Cooking
  1. On a large sheet pan, create a bed of the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts, leaving space for the chicken.
  2. Place the marinated chicken thighs on top of the vegetables.
  3. Pour the remaining honey Dijon marinade over the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  5. Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For substitutions, swap honey with agave nectar or maple syrup. Ensure ingredients are Halal-certified. Avoid overcrowding the sheet pan to prevent steaming.
