Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Place the chicken breasts in a large baking dish or sheet pan. Pour the maple glaze over the chicken, making sure it’s well coated.
4. In a separate bowl, toss the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the sweet potatoes around the chicken on the baking sheet.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sweet potatoes are tender.
