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.

  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.
