Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on or boneless, skinless)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups baby potatoes, halved
- 1.5 cups carrots, sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, soy sauce, olive oil (2 tablespoons), minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Set this glaze mixture aside.
In a large oven-safe skillet or baking dish, add the halved baby potatoes and carrots. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and toss to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables out into an even layer.
Using a spoon or brush, generously coat the chicken thighs with the brown sugar glaze on all sides.
Nestle the chicken pieces among the vegetables in the skillet or baking dish, leaving space between each piece.
Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. While roasting, toss the green beans with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
After 25 minutes, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the green beans, scattering them around the chicken and other vegetables.
Dot 2 tablespoons of butter over the vegetables for extra richness, then return the skillet to the oven.
Roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Brown Sugar Chicken and Veggies meal!
