Ingredients

For the glaze/ marinade
½ cup orange juice
2 tbsp avocado oil
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
¼ cup honey
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp fresh rosemary
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper omit pepper for AIP
1 tsp arrowroot starch
1-2 tbsp of chicken broth optional

For the sheet pan

4 chicken thighs bone-in, skin on
1 bunch asparagus chopped
1 ½ cups carrots chopped
3 orange slices

Instructions

Combine the orange juice, avocado oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk well. Add the chicken thighs and toss in the marinade to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add the carrots, asparagus, and orange slices to the sheet pan.
Leaving the marinade in the bowl, add the chicken to the sheet pan. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the marinade over the vegetables and toss to coat. Reserve the remainder of the marinade to make the glaze.
Transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the vegetables are tender and the chicken is cooked through.
To make the glaze, add the marinade to a small saucepan and whisk in 1 tsp of arrowroot starch. Bring to a boil for at least 5 minutes. The temperature of the glaze should be 165 F to kill off any bacteria and the glaze should be thick. Add 1-2 tbsp of chicken broth if a thinner glaze is desired. (see notes about alternatives).
Spoon the glaze over the cooked chicken and vegetables and serve fresh.

Notes

All nutritional information is estimations and will vary.

If you're more comfortable with using not using the marinade that had the raw chicken, just set half of it aside and reduce the arrowroot by half when you're making the glaze.
