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
- 1–2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to taste)
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, mix crushed corn flakes, flour, and a pinch of salt.
- Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then coat in the corn flake mixture. Arrange on one side of the sheet pan.
- Toss Brussels sprouts and shallots with olive oil, salt, and fresh thyme. Spread them on the other side of the pan.
- 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.
- While baking, mix Dijon mustard, honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the sauce.
- 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.
