Instructions
Creating Savory Maple Dijon Chicken & Sweet Potato Bliss Bowls is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for delicious results:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
3. Bake Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are tender and lightly browned.
4. Prepare the Chicken: While the sweet potatoes are baking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, mix the Dijon mustard and maple syrup together.
5. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked and golden brown. Brush the maple Dijon mixture over the chicken during the last few minutes of cooking.
6. Slice the Chicken: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then slice it into strips.
7. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, layer fresh spinach or kale, the roasted sweet potatoes, and sliced chicken.
8. Add Toppings: Drizzle any remaining maple Dijon sauce over the top and sprinkle with optional toppings like feta cheese, chopped walnuts, or avocado slices.
9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious bowls while everything is warm!
