Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 medium sweet potatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) (optional)
Chopped green onions (for garnish)
Toasted nuts (like pecans or walnuts) (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside a small bit for brushing later if desired.
Place the chicken in a zip-top bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder.
Spread the sweet potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Check chicken's doneness with a meat thermometer (165°F or 74°C).
Assemble your bowls with a base of sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, and chosen garnishes.
