15 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
16 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
17 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, thyme, and lemon zest until well blended.
03 - Pat chicken thighs dry. In a large bowl, toss chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Pour half of the honey lemon marinade over chicken and rub to coat. Reserve remaining marinade.
04 - In a separate bowl, toss baby potatoes, broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
05 - Arrange vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Nestle chicken thighs among the vegetables, placing them skin side up.
06 - Roast in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until chicken is golden and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and vegetables are tender.
07 - Drizzle the reserved honey lemon marinade over chicken and vegetables. Broil for 2 minutes for additional caramelization, if desired.
08 - Serve hot, garnished with extra lemon zest or fresh herbs as desired.
