Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups Brussels sprouts, halved
4 strips bacon, chopped
3 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh thyme for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the vegetables by cubing the sweet potatoes, halving the Brussels sprouts, and chopping the bacon. Toss them with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables and bacon in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this glaze for finishing touches later.
Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
Sear the chicken in a hot skillet with olive oil for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
Brush the maple-Dijon glaze over the seared chicken and transfer to the oven to bake for 15-18 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking.
Assemble the bowls by layering roasted vegetables, fanned chicken slices, a drizzle of the reserved glaze, and a sprinkle of fresh thyme.
