Sheet-Pan Maple-Glazed Chicken Breasts with Sweet Potatoes is a wholesome and flavorful one-pan meal featuring juicy glazed chicken and roasted sweet potatoes. It’s an easy, hands-off dinner with a cozy, sweet-and-savory twist.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar to make the glaze. Set aside.
  3. Toss sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Spread evenly on one side of the sheet pan.
  4. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place on the other side of the pan and brush generously with the maple glaze.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through and brushing with more glaze. Stir sweet potatoes for even roasting.
  6. Check that the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and caramelized.
  7. Remove from oven, rest chicken for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh thyme or rosemary if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Swap sweet potatoes with carrots, squash, or other root vegetables for variety.
  • Add red onion or Brussels sprouts to the pan for more veggies.
  • For a spicy glaze, stir in a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes.
  • Use chicken thighs instead of breasts for extra juiciness.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan—use two pans if doubling the recipe.
