I can’t say enough about this recipe! The flavors of the apples and brussels sprouts and onions along with the rosemary chicken is just amazing! Definite keeper for my recipe box !!
Lindsay, mustard is quite unique here, so there’s not a good swap. If you like, you can simply omit it and season with salt/pepper at the end to taste. I hope you love the recipe!
This was easy, nutritious, and delicious. I had skinless thighs on hand and used those and it still came out great! I’ve been making a lot of sheet pan recipes lately and had not tried incorporating the broiler before and will use this technique in the future!
Hi Kathy! I find the texture of the veggies reheats better if it’s stored separately from the chicken. You could also place them side by side in the same container. I hope you love the recipe if you try it!
So, I’m fairly jaded and skeptical of anything I read on the internet. This recipe was AMAZING. My 18 year-old daughter, who rarely eats brussel sprouts, wanted to go for a pie after eating the brussel sprouts/onion/apple combo with that SAUCE. I mixed the dijon, honey, olive oil, salt and pepper before stirring it into the bowl with the vegetables and apple, and, WOW. I should have made twice as much of the sauce – it’s THAT good. It doesn’t hurt to have a good sized rosemary bush in the front yard so I was pretty generous with covering the chicken with the sprigs. I couldn’t resist a pat of butter on top of each chicken thigh, either. This is a MUST DO recipe. Killer.
This is a new favorite in our house!!! A neighbor happened to give me some fresh sprigs of rosemary from her garden so this was the perfect recipe. It is SO SIMPLE to make and yet the flavor seems to go all through the chicken. I loved broiling it so the chicken skin got nice and browned. I let the veggies broil for a bit then removed them as the started to get a little char–which I love–then returned the chicken to the broiler for another minute or two. I mixed the oil, mustard, honey, salt and pepper together in a bowl first then tossed the veggies in it and then spread them on the sheet pan. Absolutely delicious!! So glad we have leftovers for tonight!!
Hi Darryl! I’ve only tested the recipe as written, but you could experiment with pears instead. If you decide to play around with it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
I know it’s 2.5 years later but I just found this recipe, had no apples on hand, so I have it in the oven right now with pears. Crossing my fingers and I’ll let you know! (:
Holy cow. These are THE BEST vegetables I’ve ever had. I am a huge fan of veggies and eat them lots of ways, and not usually a fan of honey mustard, but WOW. This combo was so stellar. Thank you!
Hi April! I’ve only tested this recipe with bone-in thighs but have had a few readers do it with boneless thighs with success. If you decide to experiment, let me know how it goes!
This was very good. I, sadly, didn’t have Rosemary, but Thyme worked in a pinch. I’ll try it again with the correct ingredient. Hubs and 5 yo son gobbled it up. The caramelized veggies were amazing. Served it with plain rice. Will definitely make again and for company too. Thanks!
Wow! This was awesome and so simple to make. I didn’t have granny Smith and had to use a sweeter apple, but it still tasted wonderful. I did have to cook about twice as long as the recipe called for and did not have to broil because the longest time made the tops brown. My husband said the recipe is a keeper!
Made this last night and my husband couldn’t stop raving about how good it was! SUPER easy and fast. I did buy boneless, skinless thighs so I missed the crispy part but still amazing!! Also I used 2 Macintosh apples which I think got a little too mushy. Will have to try a firmer apple next time.
Bonus, my kitchen smell fantastic because of the fresh rosemary! I WILL be making this again and sharing this recipe. Thanks for sharing it.
I made this using boneless skinless thighs and the taste of the chicken with fresh rosemary was excellent. The Brussels sprouts onions and apples were out of this world with a complex taste of sweetness.
I’m sorry to hear that it wasn’t to your taste Annie. The recipe has worked well for myself (and others) but I know how frustrating it can be to try a new recipe and not have it work out, so I really wish you would’ve enjoyed it!
This was a great recipe for a weeknight – full of flavor and my husband who does not care for Brussels sprouts actually enjoyed them. He is usually on clean up so he enjoyed just the one pan as well. Thank you!
This was a great combination of flavors. We like vegetables so I used more brussel sprouts
and 2 apples. I cooked the chicken for 15 minutes, then added the rest. We loved it! I did use frozen brussel sprouts which I thawed first.
I made this tonight. Working from memory, I prepared all the veggies — Brussel sprouts, onion, apples, carrots, celery, and sweet potato — and THEN opened up the recipe to check cooking instructions, only to realize there are only 3 vegetables listed in the recipe. LOL! Good thing I love veggies!
Bottom line, this one is a keeper! Very easy prep work and flavorful. I do think I’ll put minced garlic under the chicken skin the next time I make this because … everything’s better with garlic! Thanks for the recipe!

Dawn, YAY!! This makes me so so pleased to hear. Thank you!!
Hi Erin! If I don’t have mustard, what would be a good alternative to season the veggies with?
Lindsay, mustard is quite unique here, so there’s not a good swap. If you like, you can simply omit it and season with salt/pepper at the end to taste. I hope you love the recipe!

Great to hear Katrina! Thank you for your feedback!
Why does the leftover chicken need to be stored in a different container from the vegetables?
Hi Kathy! I find the texture of the veggies reheats better if it’s stored separately from the chicken. You could also place them side by side in the same container. I hope you love the recipe if you try it!

Outstanding! Added lime juice to mustard and honey mix
So happy to hear it (and yum), thank you!
I can’t have apples, do you think pears would work?
Thanks –

Ohh, I bet it would be just as good Angel!
A lot of grease from the chicken makes veggies soggy, do I drain off the grease during cooking?
Hi Dar! You can drain the grease if you prefer. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
Holy cow. These are THE BEST vegetables I’ve ever had. I am a huge fan of veggies and eat them lots of ways, and not usually a fan of honey mustard, but WOW. This combo was so stellar. Thank you!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed them, Kari! Thank you for sharing this kind review!
Can this recipe be done with boneless thighs? Just curious

Hi Debra! So glad you enjoyed the recipe! Thank you for this kind review!
Smelled good while baking, was easy, but sadly, my kids didn’t like the veggies and the chicken was kind of plain.

Are you supposed to peel the apples or leave the peel on?
Hi Energygirl! You’ll leave them on. Hope you enjoy it!
This was a great recipe for a weeknight – full of flavor and my husband who does not care for Brussels sprouts actually enjoyed them. He is usually on clean up so he enjoyed just the one pan as well. Thank you!
