Maple-Roasted Chicken

Looking for a fall dinner that feels special but doesn’t take all day? This one-pan meal combines maple-glazed chicken, caramelized Brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes for a cozy, flavorful dish that’s simple to make and beautiful to serve.

Ingredients:
(Serves 2)

  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon snipped fresh thyme
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • ⅜ teaspoon salt, divided
  • ⅜ teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
  • ½ pound sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch wedges
  • ½ pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved
  • 2 bone-in chicken thighs
  • ⅛ cup chopped toasted pecans
  • ⅛ cup chopped dried cranberries

Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a 10x15-inch baking tray with foil.
  2. Make the maple glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup, thyme, 1 teaspoon olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the veggies: Toss sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts with 2 teaspoons olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Season the chicken: Brush chicken thighs with the remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil. Sprinkle with the last ¼ teaspoon of salt and black pepper.
  5. Arrange and roast: Place chicken (skin side down) in the center of the tray. Spread the veggies around it. Roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Glaze and finish: Remove the tray, flip the chicken, and brush everything with the maple glaze. Roast another 15 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  7. Serve and garnish: Sprinkle with chopped pecans and cranberries for a little crunch and color.
