Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs

This recipe uses boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I love this cut of meat! First off, you’re going to get much more for your dollar with chicken thighs versus chicken breast (with groceries going up, this really matters in our house!). The calorie content in thighs is similar to that in chicken breast, but the fat content is higher. And you know what that means? FLAVOR! Chicken thighs have a deliciously juicy and an indulgently tender texture.

How do you make Honey Mustard Chicken?

You just need to follow two super simple steps to make this easy sheet pan dinner recipe! You will find the complete, printable recipe below, but this is a quick overview:

Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper and add to one end of a lined sheet pan. Brush with this keto-friendly honey mustard sauce.
Place the trimmed, asparagus, bell peppers and onions on the other end of the sheet pan. Drizzle with the garlic butter and season with salt and pepper. Bake 20-25 minutes until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
Brush the chicken with honey mustard and broil 2-3 minutes to really seal in the flavor. Enjoy!

How do you know when Chicken Thighs are done?

Chicken thighs should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. To ensure your chicken is thoroughly cooked, I recommend using a meat thermometer. My recipes include cooking times that have resulted in fully cooked chicken in our house, but it is always a possibility that your oven, stove or grill is slightly different, so a meat thermometer is a great tool for food safety.

Keto Honey Mustard

Honey mustard is one of my favorite condiments, but unfortunately it is not keto. The honey included in the dip adds too much sugar. But never fear! I’ve found a delicious keto substitute. G Hughes sauces are sugar free and the honey mustard is only one carb per serving!

This dip is the perfect balance of sweet and savory and is an excellent compliment to these chicken thighs. You can find G Hughes sauces at Kroger, Publix, Walmart or online.

Tips for the Best Sheet Pan Dinners

There are a few ways to be sure your sheet pan dinner will be a crowd pleaser. Here’s some tips!

Line your pan. Using either aluminum foil, baking parchment or a silicone liner, lining your pan will ensure that nothing sticks and makes clean up a breeze!
Don’t overcrowd your pan! If you add too much to your sheet pan, you run the risk of your ingredients not cooking evenly.
Season your ingredients well. Making sure that everything on your sheet pan is seasoned well is critical to making sure every bite is full of flavor!
Use a good sheet pan. Using a heavy, nonstick sheet pan will make all the difference. I’ve had success with this set.
Use fresh ingredients. Ensuring that your chicken thighs and asparagus are fresh will make a huge difference in the flavor of your chicken sheet pan!
