Maple-glazed chicken with sweet potatoes
*from Real Simple
Serves 4
3.5 to 4 pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 yellow onion, sliced into 1-inch wedges
2 small sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 Tbsp olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
3 Tbsp maple syrup
6 sprigs fresh thyme
Preheat oven to 400. Rinse chicken and pat dry. Place chicken in 9x13 baking dish. Arrange vegetables around chicken. Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Drizzle with maple syrup. Lay thyme sprigs cross top. Bake until chicken is cooked through, approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes, stirring vegetables once during cooking. Let sit 10 minutes before serving.
* I did not use a whole chicken. I used one package of boneless, skinless thighs and one package of drumsticks.
* I would recommend seasoning the chicken first, because when you add the vegetables they mostly cover the chicken, and then the chicken misses the salt and pepper, and it's kind of difficult to stir this dish when you have big pieces of chicken in there.
* When I took the dish out to stir the vegetables halfway through, I drizzled some more maple syrup over the whole dish before putting it back in the oven.
