Ingredients
  

  • 450 g boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 4 medium carrots sliced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 200 g broccolini trimmed and halved
  • 3 large shallots cut into wedges
  • 240 ml buttermilk
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 6 garlic cloves finely grated
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 3/4 tsp salt

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  2. In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth
  3. Add the chicken to the marinade and coat thoroughly, letting it sit until slightly infused with flavor
  4. Toss the carrots, broccolini, and shallots with olive oil and a pinch of salt until lightly coated
  5. Spread the vegetables evenly across the sheet pan, leaving space for the chicken
  6. Place the marinated chicken on the pan, allowing excess marinade to drip off
  7. Roast in the oven until the chicken is golden and cooked through and the vegetables are tender with lightly crisp edges
  8. Check that the chicken is juicy inside and reaches safe doneness, with a lightly caramelized surface
  9. Remove from the oven and let rest briefly so the juices settle before serving
