This healthy sheet pan dinner is about to make your Fall weeknight dinner route a breeze. Sticky sweet, tangy, juice Maple Dijon Chicken cooked with Brussels Sprouts and Squash is a complete whole-ingredient meal that makes for delicious leftovers, too!
If you've been nervous about baking chicken thighs in the oven in the past, this recipe is a great way to get your feet wet. This Maple Dijon Chicken Sheet Pan Dinner lets the oven do all the work for you, including creating a light sauce for the vegetables and chicken that can be spooned over everything once it cooks.
The combination of maple and dijon makes this chicken sheet pan dinner both sweet and tangy, plus keeps the calories low.
To get a crispy skin on the chicken thighs, don't forget to broil them on high for just a minute or two until you get a nice crisp. The maple will make the skin burn quicker than you might expect, so watch them like a hawk under that burner!
