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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Using a spoon or brush, generously coat the chicken thighs with the brown sugar glaze on all sides.

Step 5

Nestle the chicken pieces among the vegetables in the skillet or baking dish, leaving space between each piece.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

After 25 minutes, carefully remove the skillet from the oven and add the green beans, scattering them around the chicken and other vegetables.

Step 8

Dot 2 tablespoons of butter over the vegetables for extra richness, then return the skillet to the oven.

Step 9

Roast for an additional 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot and enjoy your flavorful Brown Sugar Chicken and Veggies meal!
