  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, fresh cranberries, and olive oil until smooth.
  3. Wash and chop sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and Brussels sprouts into uniform pieces.
  4. On a large baking sheet, arrange chicken thighs and chopped vegetables. Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
