Description
A simple and healthy meal featuring tender maple Dijon chicken and roasted sweet potatoes served in a bowl. Perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the chicken. In a bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Add chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated.
- Once the sweet potatoes are almost done, place the marinated chicken on the same baking sheet, spreading them out.
- Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve the chicken and sweet potatoes in bowls.
Notes
- You can substitute chicken breasts for thighs if preferred. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
- Add a handful of spinach or kale to the bowls for extra greens.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the marinade.
