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 liberally with salt and pepper.
- In a glass jar, combine olive oil, dijon mustard, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, grated garlic, chopped rosemary, and additional salt and pepper. Secure the lid and shake well to mix everything.
- In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes and chicken. Pour about one third of the maple dijon mixture over them and toss to coat thoroughly. Spread the mixture on a large sheet pan and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the chicken and sweet potatoes are baking, add the Brussels sprouts to the same bowl and coat with another third of the maple dijon mixture.
- After 10 minutes, add the Brussels sprouts to the sheet pan with the chicken and sweet potatoes. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the Brussels sprouts are browned and crispy.
- Before serving, drizzle the remaining maple dijon mixture over the dish.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinating the chicken in the maple dijon mixture for a couple of hours or overnight is recommended.
Feel free to substitute the sweet potatoes with other root vegetables, such as carrots or parsnips, for variety.
Make sure to cut the Brussels sprouts uniformly for even cooking.
