An easy one-pan meal that’s loaded with fall flavors! Made with bone in chicken thighs, maple glazed sweet potatoes and apples.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 4 Bone-in skin on chicken thighs or breasts
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Maple syrup or honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 Sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 Apples cored and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat the foil with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl whisk together the maple syrup, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Place the sweet potatoes and apples on the sheet pan and drizzle with the maple syrup mixture; toss to coat.
- Add the chicken to the pan and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until chicken is done and potatoes have started to caramelize.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use any other veggies of your choice like carrots and pears, or cauliflower and zucchini.
- You may use boneless chicken thighs or chicken breasts if you don't like bone-in thighs.
- Line up the sheet pan with foil or parchment paper for even easier cleanup.
- If you do not have maple syrup you can use honey.
- Do not worry about overcooking the chicken. Chicken thighs will get even more tender the longer you cook them.
- No need to cover the chicken thighs in the oven. You can roast them uncovered until they get crispy and tender.
