Description

Crispy-coated chicken meets caramelized Brussels sprouts and shallots, all drizzled with a fiery-sweet hot honey mustard that packs a flavorful punch. This sheet pan dinner is bold, balanced, and beautifully simple.


Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken & Veggies:
  • 4 lbs boneless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 cups finely crushed corn flakes
  • 4 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling)
  • 2 lbs Brussels sprouts, halved
  • 4 shallots, quartered
  • 4 tbsp fresh thyme
  • Hot Honey Mustard:
  • ⅓ cup Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 12 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix crushed corn flakes, flour, and a pinch of salt.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then coat in the corn flake mixture. Arrange on one side of the sheet pan.
  4. Toss Brussels sprouts and shallots with olive oil, salt, and fresh thyme. Spread them on the other side of the pan.
  5. Drizzle a little more olive oil over everything. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until chicken is crispy and cooked through, and Brussels are tender and caramelized.
  6. While baking, mix Dijon mustard, honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the sauce.
  7. Drizzle hot honey mustard over chicken and veggies before serving, or serve it on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Use chicken thighs for juicier results; breasts offer a leaner option.
  • For extra heat, add a pinch of cayenne to the corn flake coating.
  • Air fryer can be used for crispier chicken in smaller batches.
  • Double the hot honey mustard for extra dipping sauce.
