Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sweet potato cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast 20–25 minutes until tender.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, garlic powder, and remaining olive oil.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
- Add the maple-Dijon sauce to the chicken and stir to coat evenly. Cook 1–2 minutes more until slightly thickened.

- Garnish with parsley or green onions if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
💡 Tip: For extra flavor, marinate chicken in maple-Dijon sauce for 15–30 minutes before cooking. Swap quinoa with cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
