Mediterranean Honey Cranberry Chicken Bake

by

Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet or casserole dish.
2. Season the Chicken
Rub chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Let rest while preparing vegetables.
3. Prepare the Vegetables
Toss Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and carrots with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on the baking sheet.
4. Add Chicken to the Sheet
Nestle the seasoned chicken breasts among the vegetables.
5. Make the Cranberry-Honey Glaze
In a small bowl, mix cranberry sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, vinegar, and chopped rosemary. Spoon half the mixture over each chicken breast. Reserve the rest for topping after baking.
6. Bake
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender. Internal chicken temp should reach 165°F (74°C).
7. Broil (Optional)
For a caramelized top, broil for 2 to 3 minutes at the end of baking. Watch closely to avoid burning.
8. Add Toppings
Sprinkle feta and walnuts over the tray. Drizzle remaining cranberry-honey glaze on the chicken. Garnish with more herbs if desired.
