Prep Time: 15 minutes | Roast Time: 30–35 minutes | Servings: 4

Ingredients

Maple Dijon Glaze

  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 6 tbsp apple cider vinegar

  • 5 tbsp pure maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp sea salt

  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

Sheet Pan

  • 1½–2 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs (4–6 thighs)

  • 1 large delicata squash, ends trimmed, halved lengthwise, seeded, and sliced ½-inch thick (no peeling needed)

  • 1 lb Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (or green beans, broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower)

  • 4–6 slices precooked bacon, chopped (optional)

  • 1 tbsp extra Dijon mustard (optional, for brushing chicken)

  • Chopped fresh thyme or rosemary, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat & prep: Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large rimmed half-sheet pan with parchment.

  2. Blend the glaze: Blend or shake the olive oil, vinegar, maple syrup, 2 tbsp Dijon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper about 20 seconds, until smooth and emulsified.

  3. Season the vegetables: Add squash and Brussels sprouts (cut-side down) to the pan. Drizzle with half the glaze and toss. Spread toward the edges, leaving the center open.

  4. Add chicken: Pat thighs dry and brush with the optional extra Dijon. Arrange in the center and pour the remaining glaze over the top.

  5. Roast: Bake uncovered 30–35 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized. If using green beans, add them for the final 15–20 minutes.

  6. Finish & serve: Scatter bacon over the hot vegetables. Spoon pan juices over the chicken, garnish with herbs, and serve warm.

Chef’s Notes: Delicata skin turns tender when roasted, so no peeling is needed. Precooked bacon saves time and keeps the pan less greasy.

AIP Swap: Omit black pepper and replace Dijon with apple cider vinegar plus prepared horseradish, if compatible with your protocol.
