Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 boneless chicken breasts

Vegetables

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1–2 sprigs fresh rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish: parsley, rosemary, or chives (optional)

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons natural Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (natural)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Oils and Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep and Roast Sweet Potatoes: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into even cubes to ensure uniform roasting. Toss them with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, black pepper, and finely chopped rosemary if using. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized at the edges.
  2. Make the Maple Dijon Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the natural Dijon mustard, pure maple syrup (natural), minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined to create a tangy, sweet sauce.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. In the last two minutes of cooking, pour some of the maple Dijon sauce over the chicken to glaze it.
  4. Assemble the Bowl: Place a generous scoop of roasted sweet potatoes into each serving bowl. Top with the glazed chicken breasts and drizzle with extra maple Dijon sauce. Garnish with fresh chopped herbs such as parsley, rosemary, or chives for a fresh aromatic finish.

Notes

  • Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even roasting and consistent caramelization.
  • Marinate the chicken in the maple Dijon sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking to enhance flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken to ensure a good sear and avoid steaming.
  • Use fresh garlic and herbs for the brightest flavor.
  • Allow cooked chicken to rest a few minutes before slicing to keep it juicy and tender.
