Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs) Thighs can be used for a richer flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • to taste salt and pepper
For the Roasted Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • to taste salt and pepper
Optional for Garnish
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • Sliced green onions

Method
 

Marinate the Chicken
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, soy sauce, and olive oil. Add your chicken breasts and coat them well. Let this marinate for at least 20 minutes.
Roast the Sweet Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake it Up
  1. Place the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Cook the Chicken
  1. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a splash of oil. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
Assemble Your Bowls
  1. Build your bowls starting with a base of roasted sweet potatoes, lay on the chicken, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs or sliced green onions.
