🥣 Ingredients
Chicken & Vegetables
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ medium sweet potato, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 2 parsnips, peeled and sliced
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- ½ cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Honey Mustard Curry Sauce
- ¼ cup yellow mustard
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1½ tablespoons curry powder
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the chicken, sweet potato, onion, parsnips, bell peppers, and spinach into a large cast iron skillet or a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Drizzle with the olive oil, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss everything together.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mustard, honey, balsamic vinegar, curry powder, butter (or margarine), garlic, and oregano.
- Stir until the butter has melted and the sauce is smooth and just beginning to bubble.
- Pour the warm sauce over the chicken and vegetables. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
- Bake uncovered for 60 minutes, stirring once halfway through cooking.
- Increase the oven temperature to 450°F (230°C) for the final 7 minutes to lightly caramelize the vegetables and brown the chicken.
- Let the dish rest for 5 minutes before serving over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.
💚 Tips from The Gluten Free Oven
- To save time on busy days, chop the vegetables and prepare the honey mustard curry sauce the night before. Store them separately in the refrigerator, then simply assemble and bake when you’re ready for dinner.
- Cut the vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they roast evenly.Give the vegetables a little room in the pan so they roast instead of steam.If using a new brand of curry powder, remember that flavors and spice levels can vary.
🌿 Make It Your Own
- Swap the protein: Try boneless chicken thighs, turkey breast, pork tenderloin, shrimp, or cubed tofu.
- Add more vegetables: Broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, or zucchini are all delicious additions.
- Make it dairy-free: Use your favorite dairy-free butter or margarine.
- Turn up the heat: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few red pepper flakes.
- Serve it differently: Spoon it over brown rice, quinoa, cauliflower rice, mashed potatoes, or even roasted potatoes.
⭐ Perfect Pairings

- Steamed white or brown rice
- Fluffy quinoa
