Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (thinly-sliced)
- kosher salt (to taste)
- ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 medium sweet potato (peeled and chopped into cubes)
- 1 pound brussels sprouts (outer leaves removed, then halved)
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary (or ½ teaspoon dried)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425℉.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a glass jar, combine olive oil, dijon mustard, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, grated garlic, rosemary, and additional salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake well.
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes and chicken. Pour one third of the maple dijon mixture over the chicken and sweet potatoes; toss well to coat. Spread them evenly on a large sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the chicken and sweet potatoes are baking, add the halved brussels sprouts to the same bowl. Pour another third of the maple dijon mixture over the sprouts and toss to coat.
- After 10 minutes, add the brussels sprouts to the sheet pan with the chicken and sweet potatoes. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the Brussels sprouts are browned and crispy.
- Before serving, drizzle the remaining maple dijon mixture over the chicken, sweet potatoes, and brussels sprouts.
Notes
Ensure that the chicken is thinly sliced for even cooking.
You can swap out the sweet potatoes for other root vegetables if desired.
Fresh rosemary adds a lovely flavor but dried can be used in a pinch.
