If Merriam-Webster needed a picture to complete the definition of the word EASY, this recipe for One Pan Roasted Chicken and Potatoes should be IT!
Chicken and potatoes and wine, friends! Hi and welcome to my chicken shrine.
I got an email the other day from someone telling me that I have too many chicken recipes… HUH?! TOO many? CHICKEN recipes!? Can you really have ENOUGH chicken recipes? Someone please tell me, edumacate me. I can’t wrap my head around it.
It’s just so versatile and light and juicy and easy… know whadda mean?
Thus, for the umpteenth time, my friends, I’m making you a CHICKEN dinner in 30-35ish minutes. It’s that simple. So easy. So juicy. And it will be on the table pronto.
See that amazing honey mustard sauce up there? You’ll want to eat it by the spoonfuls or just spread it on every piece of food that you make from hereon.
Kind of like my Maple Mustard Chicken, but not exactly.
ROASTED CHICKEN AND POTATOES
Here we have dijon mustard, honey, thyme, parsley, and salt & pepper. All whipped up and spread over our chicken breasts.
The potatoes and onions are tossed with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper, and placed right alongside the chicken.
COOK’S NOTES
- Roasting chicken and veggies on a sheet pan: I have tested this method of cooking on several occasions and the best way to do it, in my opinion, is to preheat the sheet pan. Just pop it in the oven while you’re prepping the food, and when ready to use, take it out of the oven and spread out the food in one single layer. This worked perfectly with my Sheet Pan Chicken Stir Fry recipe and I’m sticking to it.
And there’s our roasted chicken and potatoes ready to be devoured. This recipe is BOTH a quick weeknight meal and something that you might feel like you’d have at a fancy dinner party. That’s a one-two punch, friends!
ENJOY!

Ohhhhhh my goodness this was fantastic! Thank you for the recipe, followed it exactly and made some corn in the IP quick as a veggie side. Will make again!!
I am very glad you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
Making this tomorrow. Have you ever marinated the chicken in sauce ahead of time?
Hi!
Yes, that will work. I think that would be delicious!
Made this tonight with a couple substitutions. I used Visalia onions instead, I used German mustard instead and didn’t add the salt because it was in the mustard and used fresh rosemary finely chopped instead of thyme. I cubed the potatoes instead. Of slicing. I recommend doubling the honey mustard sauce, my husband said it wasn’t enough. Loved it!! Great recipe! Thank you
I am very happy you enjoyed it! Thank YOU! 🙂
I’m trying it with Ranch seasoning. Also adding zucchini and squash to the mix.
OMG! This is an amazing recipe! I can not keep my mouth shut! Slurp! Slurp!Definitely, I am gonna make this at home! Wish me best of luck.
what can i use in this recipe instead of mustard as i am allergic to it and it sounds sooooooo goooood but i have a problem with recipes with mustard as i do not like going to the er 🙁 and i always ask for a substitute and have yet to get an answer for this , not from ur site but other ones like food network so can u please let me know as i would so love to make this as i said it sounds soooooooo good thank you
Hi! Off the top of my head, I would say use mayonnaise – it won’t taste the same as this recipe was intended, but it’s a fix. 😀 Also, use horseradish if you like. Or maybe mayonnaise and horseradish combined? I hope this helps, somewhat.
Would adding carrots change the cooking time?
Hi! No, not at all. I’d slice them to about a 1-inch thickness or less.
Amazing! My daughter loves chicken and she is very happy to eat this. Thanx! For ur lovely recipes
Simple and delicious, or should it be ‘simply delicious’? 🙂
I’ll take both!! 😀
