This super easy Honey Glazed Chicken Skillet is filled with juicy chicken thighs, tender sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts in an irresistible honey butter sauce. It’s an all-in-one dinner that’s sure to please!
I’m partnering once again with Land O’Lakes to bring you another delicious, quick and easy dinner that’s ready in under 30 minutes and uses just ONE PAN! Doing a little happy dance over this one guys, it’s THAT good!
While I finish my little jig over here, let’s jump right in to this delectable dinner that’s completely customizable to your family’s taste. Let me show you how it’s done!
Ingredients for Honey Glazed Chicken Skillet:
- Chicken Thighs – I’m using boneless, skinless chicken thighs, but you could very easily substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts (see the recipe notes below for what to do).
- Italian Seasoning – just your typical herb blend here, but you could easily substitute in dried or fresh rosemary, thyme or oregano to taste.
- Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt – my go-to for quick dinners! It’s just sweet cream, olive oil and sea salt, making it easy to add richness and flavor to any dish!
- Honey – I bet real maple syrup would be a delicious alternative!
- Sweet Potatoes – make sure you cut them to a small bite-size cube so they cook evenly and quickly.
- Brussels Sprouts – my favorite fall/winter veggie! You could swap for fresh-cut green beans, broccoli or cauliflower!
- Garlic – minced garlic for an earthy balance.
How To Make Honey Glazed Chicken Recipe:
- You’ll start by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
- Melt some Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt in an oven-safe skillet, then stir in honey. Once it’s nice and bubbly, add the chicken thighs and cook for 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet to a dish and keep warm.
- Add a little more Land O Lakes® Butter with Olive Oil & Sea Salt and honey to the skillet, then toss in diced sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts along with some garlic. Season to taste and let cook for about 5 minutes.
- Place the chicken thighs on top of the potatoes and Brussels sprouts and then pop in the oven for just 15 minutes to finish cooking.
Do I Need An Oven Safe Skillet?
This recipe works GREAT with an oven-safe skillet (cast-iron is my personal preference) because you’ll only have one pan to clean when dinner is over. BUT if you have not invested in an oven-safe skillet yet, you can simply transfer the ingredients to a casserole dish and finish cooking in the oven.
What To Serve with Honey Glazed Chicken Thighs?
What’s great about this ONE-SKILLET MEAL is that it’s a whole meal prepared in one pan! You’ve got your chicken for protein, sweet potatoes for starch and Brussels sprouts for a vegetable!
If you’re still looking for something to pair with this meal, I would suggest a side garden salad or my Strawberry Spinach Salad.

Kelleigh
I love this recipe and have made it so many times! I like to add whole grain mustard to the butter/honey mixture and I’ve used smoked sausage and pork in place of the chicken too! Tonight I added regular diced potatoes and asparagus for more veggies!
Shawn
That sounds fantastic! Thanks for sharing Kelleigh!
Meredith
how would you adapt the recipe if using bone-in, skin-on thighs?
Shawn
You can cook the same way, just make sure the chicken is cooked through.
Marina Alvarez
Can this recipe be done without veggies?

I made this today and it is really good. I just happened to have all the ingredients in my house so decided to try it. I wasn’t sure about the honey, but decided to follow the recipe exactly as stated. I was not disappointed. The only thing I found was that I didn’t need 15 minutes in the oven. I used the baby Brussels sprouts and cut the potato pretty small. I think next time I make this I will stop at 10 minutes. I will definitely make this again! Thanks for a healthy and tasty recipe!
Shawn
So glad you enjoyed it Renee!
