  • 1 lb mushrooms, sliced (baby bella or white button)
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder

For the Balsamic Glaze:

  • ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp dried thyme

For Garnish:

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • Extra balsamic glaze, for drizzling

👉 Directions

1️⃣ Preheat the Oven – Set to 400°F (200°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Prepare the Mushrooms & Onions – Toss the sliced mushrooms and red onion with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Spread them on one side of the sheet pan.

3️⃣ Make the Balsamic Glaze – In a small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, olive oil, and dried thyme.

4️⃣ Coat the Chicken – Pat the chicken thighs dry, then brush generously with half of the balsamic glaze.

5️⃣ Bake – Arrange the chicken thighs skin-side up on the sheet pan next to the mushrooms. Roast for 25 minutes.

6️⃣ Glaze Again & Finish Cooking – Brush the remaining balsamic glaze over the chicken, then bake for another 10-15 minutes, until the chicken reaches 175°F (80°C) and the mushrooms are caramelized.

7️⃣ Serve & Garnish – Sprinkle with fresh parsley and drizzle with extra balsamic glaze before serving. Enjoy as is or pair with mashed potatoes or a side of roasted veggies!


Common Questions

Can I use boneless chicken thighs?
Yes! Reduce the cooking time to 20-25 minutes since boneless thighs cook faster.

What if I don’t like mushrooms?
Try using Brussels sprouts, asparagus, or zucchini instead!

Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! The chicken can marinate in the balsamic glaze for up to 24 hours before baking for even deeper flavor.

How do I store leftovers?
Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for best results.
