Simple one-pan dinner: Chicken thighs with maple-mustard marinade

Who wouldn't love a dinner from one tray? You prepare the main course and the side dish at once – on one tray, at the same temperature, and without unnecessary dishwashing. This Sunday dinner brings juicy chicken thighs with a maple-mustard marinade, roasted together with potatoes and carrots – simple, yet absolutely excellent. Thanks to the combination of spicy mustard and sweet Canadian maple syrup, ordinary chicken becomes a meal you won't forget.
