Honey Lemon Chicken Thighs with Roasted Potatoes, Apples & Onions

Honey Lemon Chicken Thighs with Roasted Potatoes, Apples & Onions

If you’re after a delicious, easy weeknight dinner— this one’s for you. This two sheet pan* meal is absolutely banging. You've got juicy chicken thighs, crispy potatoes, and sweet, caramelized apples and onions. To tie the whole thing together, it's finished with a honey lemon drizzle. This dinner is an absolute winner (lol), it's a hearty, sweet, savory, a little zingy (the lemon and rosemary really make it pop) and provides perfectly balanced macros. PLUS, it doesn't take a ton of time or effort either!

*because you don't want dry chicken, and that's what you'd get by using one sheet pan... and soggy potatoes from the chicken fat

Ingredients

For the potatoes & veggies:

• 8-10 oz huckleberry gold potatoes (or baby golds with purple skin for color)
• 7 ml olive oil (about 1 ½ tsp)
• ½ tsp rosemary
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 Granny Smith apples, sliced
• 1 red onion, sliced

For the chicken:

• 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 7 ml olive oil (about 1 ½ tsp)
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder

For the honey lemon drizzle:

• 20 g honey
• Zest and juice of 1 lemon
• 5 g Dijon mustard

Optional garnish

• 4-6 basil leaves, sliced

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prep the sheet pan: Toss the potatoes with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper on one end of sheet pan number one. Add the apples & onions to the other half. Spread everything in a single layer.
3. Roast for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through for even browning.
4. Meanwhile, season the chicken thighs with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Arrange them on a second sheet pan. Pro tip: trim the fat from the chicken thighs to make the macros even better.
5. Broil on high for 6–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temp 165°F).
6. Mix the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon zest, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard.
7. Plate it up: Arrange roasted potatoes, apples, and onions on a serving dish, top with the broiled chicken, and drizzle everything generously with the honey lemon sauce. Finally, garnish with the basil strips.

Why You’ll Love It

This meal hits, it's a certified flavor party— it's sweet, tangy, and savory. The apples caramelize beautifully next to the potatoes, the chicken stays juicy under the broiler, and that lemon honey finisher? It takes 30 seconds to whip up, and ties the whole dish together.
