Sweet maple, tangy Dijon, and roasted sweet potatoes make this simple sheet-pan chicken dinner feel special without a lot of cleanup.

Prep: 15 minutes · Cook: 30 minutes · Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 4 even portions
• 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
• 12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment.
2. Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil and half the thyme. Roast for 12 minutes.
3. Whisk remaining olive oil with Dijon, maple syrup, lemon juice, garlic, pepper, and remaining thyme.
4. Move potatoes to one side of the pan. Add chicken and green beans. Brush chicken with maple Dijon mixture and toss beans lightly in any remaining mixture.
5. Roast another 18–25 minutes, until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F and sweet potatoes are tender. If chicken pieces vary in thickness, remove cooked pieces as they finish.
6. Rest chicken 5 minutes before serving.

Tips & Storage

For easier timing, pound chicken breasts to even thickness. Cooking time varies by size; always verify 165°F with a thermometer.
