13 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
14 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
15 - 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and thyme until well combined.
03 - In a large bowl, toss baby potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Spread potatoes on the prepared sheet pan with cut side down.
04 - Roast potatoes in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
05 - Pat chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Rub evenly with 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
06 - Remove sheet pan from oven. Nestle seasoned chicken thighs among the potatoes. Brush chicken generously with half of the honey garlic sauce. Return pan to oven and roast for 15 minutes.
07 - Toss green beans with a light drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
08 - Remove sheet pan from oven. Arrange green beans around chicken and potatoes. Brush chicken with remaining honey garlic sauce.
09 - Roast for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and vegetables are tender.
10 - For extra caramelization, broil for 2 to 3 minutes if desired.
11 - Transfer chicken, potatoes, and green beans to serving plates. Spoon pan juices over the top before serving.
