Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, honey, lemon juice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken thighs and toss to ensure they are evenly coated with the marinade. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Prepare the vegetables: Steam the carrots until they are slightly softened. (8 minutes). Transfer to a bowl. Steam the asparagus until they are bright green and crisp-tender. (6 minutes). Add to the bowl with the carrots.

04

Step

Heat a large oven-safe skillet (cast iron is ideal) over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted and the skillet is hot, add the marinated chicken thighs. Sear the chicken for 6-8 minutes until deeply browned on one side. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 4 minutes to brown the other side. (12 minutes)

05

Step

Add the steamed carrots and asparagus to the skillet around the chicken thighs. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish. (7 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, add a minced clove of garlic to the honey-mustard marinade.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables such as broccoli florets, bell peppers, or zucchini. Adjust steaming and roasting times accordingly.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the chicken and vegetables to a baking dish after searing the chicken.
Serve with a side of quinoa, rice, or roasted potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving for a pop of color and freshness.
