Step-by-step instructions

Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make my Honey Soy Mustard Chicken Tray Bake recipe, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card below.

Tray Prep Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large sheet pan with baking paper. (The baking paper makes for easy clean up!)

Ingredient Prep: Wash and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks. Add to the tray. (I don't bother peeling them, but you could if you prefer them that way).

Slice zucchini into thick rounds. Add with baby carrots (or cut regular carrots into pieces) to the tray.

Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and place on the prepared tray.

Wooden chopping board laid with chopped potatoes and zucchini in cubes and whole baby carrots. Knife on benchtop next to board.

Coat with Oil: Add the oil to the chicken and vegetables, make sure they are evenly covered with oil, I use my hands to do this.

Make the Sauce: In a small bowl or measuring jug mix together the soy sauce, honey, mustard and cornflour. If your honey is not liquid you may need to warm it so that it mixes more easily.

Glaze: Pour the honey soy mix over the chicken and potatoes. I use a pastry brush to make sure the chicken skin is all well coated.

Bake: Bake in the hot oven for 20 minutes, turn the chicken and potatoes and bake for a further 15-20 minutes depending on the size of your chicken pieces.

Optional If Sauce Not Thickened: At this point, the tray bake should be ready and the source thickened/become a little yummy and sticky, sometimes this is not the case if the chicken has released a lot of liquid during cooking. If your sauce is still runny, remove the chicken and potatoes from the tray and set aside. Increase the heat on the oven a little and continue cooking the sauce for another 5 or so minutes. Once thickened and yummy looking pour this over your chicken and potatoes

Top Tips

Here is how you can make this Sheet Pan Chicken perfectly every time!

Don’t skip drying the chicken—it helps it roast rather than steam.
Use a large enough pan so everything is in a single layer.
Warm your honey slightly to help it mix smoothly into the glaze.

How to Make This Recipe Suitable For Baby Led Weaning

This recipe has not specifically been designed with baby led weaning in mind. Honey is not recommended for children under a year of age and soy sauce can be high in salt.

Omit the honey if your baby is under 12 months. You can replace it with a little unsweetened apple purée or maple syrup.
Ensure all veggies are cut into appropriate shapes and cooked soft enough to squish between fingers.
Watch the sodium—use a low-sodium soy sauce
