Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Place the chicken breasts in the same bowl used for the sweet potatoes, drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss to coat.
  5. Pour half of the maple glaze over the chicken and toss to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining glaze.
  6. Arrange the chicken on the baking sheet with the sweet potatoes.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.

  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
