Sheet Pan Honey-Dijon Chicken, Vegetables and Sweet Potatoes

An evening thought for morning 
Spring for a easy sheet pan meal for a summer evening
Cook's Notes: Since I am cooking for two to four I look for ways to streamline the quantity. Rather than buying a head of broccoli and a head cauliflower I found this bag in the produce, mixed broccoli and cauliflower. Perfect size for this recipe. 
Red potatoes can be substituted for sweet potatoes. It's important to give potatoes and chicken a head start roasting and add in veggies toward the end of baking time.The recipe serves 4 and was adapted from kitchn.com  
Ingredients:
  • 3/4 lb. chicken breast fillets cut into large chunks
  • 3 cups sweet potatoes, pealed and cut in chunks or red potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 2 Tb. Olive oil
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 2 TB. Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp. yellow mustard
  • 1 Tb. good quality white balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 bag 12 oz. broccoli and cauliflower florets  
  • 1 small red onion, cut in chunks
Directions:
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone pad. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. 
  • In a large bowl toss sweet potatoes with 1 TB. olive oil and 1 tsp. Saigon cinnamon. 
  • Spread evenly out on baking sheet. Salt and pepper lightly. 
  • In the same bowl add 1 TB. olive oil, honey, mustards, balsamic vinegar and mix well. Add in chicken, onion chunks and veggies. Toss to coat.
  • Remove chicken and add to baking sheet with potatoes. Roast 15 minutes. Add in veggies and onions, roast 10 minutes more or until chicken is cooked and potatoes crispy.  
A Lemon Curd Dessert is the perfect light finish to an evening meal.  
Creamy Lemon Curd with fresh Raspberries
A great summer dessert. Easy to assemble and topped with fresh raspberries.
