Chef's Note

For the best flavor, don't skip the searing step before roasting the chicken. This creates a beautiful golden crust and helps lock in moisture. If you have time, marinate the chicken for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator for even more flavor development. You can easily double this recipe for delicious leftovers the next day.

Ingredients
  • 8 oz frozen chicken tenderloins

  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1/2 medium lemon

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon honey

  • 2 medium carrots

  • 6 oz Brussels sprouts

  • 1/4 medium red onion

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons white wine

  • 1/4 cup chicken broth

Instructions
  • 1

    Thaw the frozen chicken tenderloins according to package directions. Pat dry with paper towels.

  • 2

    Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • 3

    Strip the leaves from 1 sprig of rosemary and 1 sprig of thyme. Finely chop the herbs and mince the 2 garlic cloves.

  • 4

    In a bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon honey, half the minced garlic, chopped herbs, zest from half the lemon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

  • 5

    Place the chicken tenderloins in the marinade and turn to coat. Let marinate for 10 minutes while preparing the vegetables.

  • 6

    Peel and cut 2 medium carrots into 2-inch sticks. Trim and halve 6 oz Brussels sprouts. Cut 1/4 red onion into wedges.

  • 7

    In a separate bowl, toss the prepared vegetables with 1 tablespoon olive oil, remaining minced garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.

  • 8

    On a rimmed baking sheet, arrange the vegetables on one side. Place the remaining rosemary and thyme sprigs among the vegetables.

  • 9

    Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken tenderloins and sear for 2 minutes on each side until golden.

  • 10

    Transfer the chicken to the other side of the baking sheet with the vegetables.

  • 11

    Return the skillet to medium heat, add 2 tablespoons white wine to deglaze, scraping up any browned bits. Add 1/4 cup chicken broth and simmer for 1 minute. Pour this sauce over the chicken.

  • 12

    Squeeze juice from half the lemon over the vegetables.

  • 13

    Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender and caramelized.

  • 14

    Let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
