Ingredients:

• Chicken: 4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks (boneless can also work)
• Vegetables:
  • 1 lb (450g) baby potatoes, halved
  • 2 cups carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup green beans or broccoli (optional, added later)
• Savory Mix:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken:
   • Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of smoked paprika for extra flavor.
3. Mix the Savory Sauce:
   • In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme/rosemary.
4. Assemble the Pan:
   • Spread the baby potatoes, carrots, and onion wedges evenly in a large baking dish or sheet pan.
   • Place the chicken pieces on top of the vegetables.
5. Coat with the Sauce:
   • Drizzle the savory mix over the chicken and vegetables.
   • Toss the vegetables lightly to ensure they are evenly coated. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken for full flavor.
6. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
   • If using green beans or broccoli, add them to the pan after 30 minutes and stir lightly.
   • Continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the vegetables are tender.
7. Serve:
   • Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after baking.
   • Serve the chicken with a generous helping of the roasted vegetables, and drizzle any remaining pan juices over the top.
