  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients

Chicken and Vegetables

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 cups butternut squash, cubed
  • 2 cups Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved lengthwise
  • 1/2 large red onion, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Sauce

  • 3 Tbsp lower-sodium soy sauce, or tamari if gluten-free
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 Tbsp grated ginger
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the chicken and vegetables.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: Add the cubed butternut squash, halved Brussels sprouts, and sliced red onion to a large sheet pan. Toss them with olive oil until everything is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange Chicken and Season: Place the boneless, skinless chicken thighs evenly on top of the vegetables in the sheet pan. Season both the chicken and vegetables generously with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Make the Maple Glaze Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together lower-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), pure maple syrup, sesame oil, grated ginger, red pepper flakes, and fresh thyme to create a sweet and savory glaze.
  5. Brush Sauce on Chicken: Generously brush the maple glaze over each chicken thigh, saving some sauce aside for basting later.
  6. Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken’s juices run clear and the vegetables are tender. If you prefer crisper vegetables, turn on the broiler for a few minutes at the end of cooking.
  7. Final Glaze and Serve: Brush the reserved maple sauce over the chicken and vegetables just before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and nutritious one-pan meal!

Notes

  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
  • Broiling at the end adds extra crispness to the vegetables but watch carefully to prevent burning.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to control the heat level according to your preference.
  • This meal reheats well and can be prepared in advance for easy meal prep.
  • Chicken thighs can be substituted with boneless chicken breasts, but adjust cooking time accordingly.
