Roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts pair amazingly with chicken thighs marinated in honey, balsamic vinegar, and thyme. If you happen to have only one sheet pan, you can put the veggies down first then nestle the chicken in amongst them. It’s better with 2 sheet pans though so you can have enough to feed all your people.
Marinate the chicken in a gallon freezer bag for a minimum of 2 hours. Alternately, you could put the chicken and the marinade together and freeze it allowing it to marinade as it unthaws. Both are good options.
Quarter the sweet potatoes and onions. Halve the brussel sprouts. Toss everything together with olive oil, salt and pepper and whatever seasoning your heart desires. Place vegetables on one sheet pan then place marinated chicken thighs on another. Place in 400 degree oven for about an hour. Check the chicken for an internal temperature of 180 degrees. Let meat rest for at least 10 minutes to keep moist.
