Description

A comforting dish featuring tender chicken thighs and roasted sweet potatoes in a flavorful maple Dijon sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended and set aside.
  3. In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  4. Dice the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Place the diced sweet potatoes in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until fork-tender.
  6. Pour the maple Dijon sauce over the cooked chicken and stir to coat for about 3-4 minutes on low heat.
  7. Serve the chicken over a scoop of roasted sweet potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Make-ahead tips: Prepare the chicken and sauce a day ahead and store in the fridge. Reheat while sweet potatoes roast.
