Why Your Body Will Love This Honey Mustard Sheet Pan Chicken Thighs and New Potatoes with Roasted Broccoli Recipe
This meal is more than just tasty — it’s loaded with nutrients to help you feel your best.
- Chicken thighs are rich in complete protein, which helps keep you full and supports muscle repair and immune health. They also contain iron and zinc, which are essential for energy and immune function, especially important during busy summer months.
- New potatoes provide complex carbohydrates for steady energy. They’re also a great source of potassium, which supports healthy blood pressure and electrolyte balance (a must when you’re sweating more in the heat). Leaving the skins on adds extra fibre, which helps keep your digestive system moving.
- Broccoli is a fibre-filled, antioxidant-rich superstar. It’s high in vitamins C and K, supports liver detoxification, and contains compounds like sulforaphane, which has been linked to anti-inflammatory and cancer-protective benefits. Roasting it brings out its natural sweetness while giving it those irresistible crispy edges.
- Garlic and mustard aren’t just flavour powerhouses — they’re also full of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Garlic in particular supports heart health and immune resilience, while mustard seeds contain selenium and magnesium, which help regulate metabolism and reduce inflammation.
- Nutritional yeast adds a hit of savoury flavour along with B vitamins, including B12 (a great bonus if you’re plant-based). It also adds a bit of extra protein and fibre to round out your plate.
- And of course, honey gives that touch of natural sweetness and provides antioxidants and antibacterial properties in its raw form.
This balanced, colourful dinner checks all the boxes: healthy fats, quality protein, energizing carbs, and loads of flavour!
