  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Step 3: Toss to make sure everything is coated. Put the pan in a preheated 425 degree oven for about 25 minutes. I wanted to give my vegetables a head start because they take about 45 minutes to cook. If I was using a whole chicken, I would cook it all at the same time.

Step 4: Season chicken with salt and pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Arrange in pan, alongside vegetables.

Top Tips for Roasting Chicken and Vegetables //

With these 8 easy tips, your one pan roasted chicken and vegetables is guaranteed to be finger licking:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. This will ensure that the chicken and vegetables cook evenly.
  2. Baste the chicken and vegetables periodically with the pan juices. This will keep them moist.
  3. Use a roasting pan with a rack. This will allow the heat to circulate around the chicken and vegetables.
  4. Season the chicken and vegetables generously. This will add flavor.
  5. Place the chicken in the center of the roasting pan and arrange the vegetables around it. This will help chicken and vegetables cook evenly.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. The internal temperature should be at least 165 F to ensure that it is fully cooked.
  7. Cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
  8. Let the chicken and vegetables rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and will make the meat more tender.

Should You Cook Vegetables Before Roasting? //

Readers always ask me if they need to pre-cook vegetables before roasting them. It is usually better to roast them directly from raw. They retain more of their flavor and it helps to prevent them from becoming mushy or overcooked.

However, there are some exceptions. For example, I like to pre-cook carrots, parsnips and other root vegetables before roasting them as it slightly softens them up and helps cook them more evenly while reducing the overall roasting time.

How to Store Roasted Chicken and Vegetables //

As discussed, this recipe is perfect for meal prep. You can store roasted chicken in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. As always, make sure to wait until it has cooled before putting it in the fridge.

To serve the chicken, remove it from the fridge and let it come to room temperature. You can reheat it in the oven, on the stovetop, or in the microwave. Just be sure to heat it slowly and carefully to avoid drying it out or burning it. You can also eat the chicken cold, it tastes great with Dijon mustard!

Bree, I just discovered your blog this week and made this recipe. I typically cook Italian dishes but I thought this looked like a quick, healthy weeknight meal and wanted to give it a shot. I had sweet potatoes on hand so used them instead. My husband LOVED it! I was surprised how wholesome and yet easy it is. This one will go into rotation at our house too. I'll be back to your blog for Thanksgiving tips!
