These easy sheet pan chicken thighs and veggies is one of my favorite sheet pan supper recipes! It's a sheet pan dinner with juicy baked chicken thighs, roasted veggies, and a delicious mustard herb sauce! Best of all, you can customize your sheet pan chicken thighs: boneless or bone-in!
Trim chicken thighs of any excess skin and fat. Pierce flesh and skin with the tip of a knife to allow maximum penetration of the marinade.
Place chicken pieces in a large nonreactive mixing bowl and season liberally on all sides with salt and fresh cracked pepper, rubbing seasoning into the chicken.
Add in vegetables and season them as well with salt and pepper. Toss to combine.
In a bowl, whisk together garlic, olive oil, honey, mustard, thyme, paprika, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Add marinade to chicken and vegetables and toss to coat evenly. If desired, cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
Preheat oven to 425°F.
Spread chicken and vegetable mixture evenly on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reads 165°F) and vegetables are tender.

The longer your marinate, the deeper the flavors will penetrate, but either way it'll be great!Meal Prep: Use this paleo chicken thigh recipe for meal prep!
