A delightful recipe that combines savory chicken with roasted sweet potatoes and a luscious Maple Dijon sauce, perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for the sauce)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potatoes on a lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until tender and golden.
  4. While the sweet potatoes roast, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper.
  5. Sauté the chicken for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and browned. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper for the sauce.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and pour the maple Dijon sauce over it. Stir to coat the chicken evenly, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. To serve, divide the roasted sweet potatoes and chicken among bowls. Add fresh spinach leaves to each bowl.
  9. Drizzle any remaining maple Dijon sauce over the bowls if desired, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor.

Notes

Great for meal prep! Flavors improve as they sit. You can substitute butternut squash for sweet potatoes if desired.
