Here’s how to make Maple-Glazed Chicken with Sweet Potatoes in just a few simple steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking dish with a non-stick spray.
2. Make the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside a few tablespoons for glazing.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts into the baking dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure it is evenly coated.
4. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In another bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them around the chicken in the baking dish.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
6. Glaze: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, brush the reserved marinade over the chicken for extra glaze and flavor.
7. Rest: After removing from the oven, let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish: If desired, garnish with fresh thyme or parsley for an added touch.
