Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- Sweet potatoes
- Broccoli florets
- Bell peppers (red, yellow, orange)
- Red onion
- Pure maple syrup
- Dijon mustard
- Olive oil
- Garlic (minced)
- Apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into about 1-inch pieces. Chop the broccoli into bite-sized florets, slice the bell peppers into strips, and thinly slice the red onion.
- Cut the boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) into 1-inch cubes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the pure maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for about 10-15 minutes.
- After the sweet potatoes have roasted, add the cubed chicken, broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, and red onion slices to the baking sheet. Pour the majority of the maple Dijon sauce over everything and toss to coat evenly.
- Return the baking sheet to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Divide the chicken, sweet potatoes, and roasted veggies among serving bowls and drizzle with the reserved ¼ cup of maple Dijon sauce.
