Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup honey

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 cups baby potatoes, halved

1 cup green beans, trimmed

Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking.

    Make the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the ingredients together until smooth to create a flavorful marinade.

      Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken thighs into a large resealable plastic bag or a mixing bowl. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag tightly or cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for maximum flavor infusion.

        Prepare the Sheet Pan: While the chicken is marinating, prepare your baking sheet. You can either line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup or lightly coat it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

          Arrange Chicken on the Sheet Pan: After marinating, carefully remove the chicken from the bag or bowl, letting any excess marinade drip off. Place the chicken thighs on one side of the prepared sheet pan.

            Coat the Potatoes: In the same mixing bowl where you marinated the chicken (no need to rinse), add the halved baby potatoes. Toss them gently to ensure they are well-coated in the remaining marinade. Spread the potatoes out on the opposite side of the sheet pan, making sure they are in a single layer.

              Initial Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes.

                Add the Green Beans: After the initial baking time, remove the sheet pan from the oven carefully. Add the trimmed green beans to the pan, tossing them lightly in the pan juices to coat.

                  Final Bake: Return the sheet pan to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes. Cook until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are fork-tender.

                    Rest and Serve: Once done, remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the chicken and vegetables rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to settle.

                        - Presentation Tips: For a charming, rustic presentation, serve directly from the sheet pan. Alternatively, transfer the chicken and vegetables onto individual plates, drizzling any remaining sauce from the pan over the top. For a touch of freshness, garnish with sprigs of thyme or a sprinkle of fresh parsley, adding a vibrant pop of color to the dish.
