Ingredients
- 1½ lb boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 2 lb sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 12 oz green beans
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F.
- Cube the sweet potatoes, toss with olive oil and salt, and roast on a large sheet pan 10 minutes.
- Whisk the maple syrup, Dijon, vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken in it.
- Push the sweet potatoes aside, add the chicken and green beans (tossed in a little oil), and roast 18-20 more minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Drizzle any leftover pan sauce over the top and serve.
- Picky eater tip: serve the plain roasted sweet potatoes and green beans, and give them chicken with just a little sauce.
- Make ahead: whisk the sauce and cube the sweet potatoes up to 1 day ahead, and keep both covered in the fridge.
On the side: Warm pita and hummus (5 min)
1 package pita bread, 1 container hummus
- Warm the pitas in a dry skillet or the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, cut into wedges and serve with the hummus.
