Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (approximately 1.5 lbs)
2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 lb), peeled and cubed
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, mix maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chopped rosemary.
Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and coat them with half of the marinade. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Toss the sweet potatoes in the remaining marinade until well coated. Arrange them on a baking sheet.

Allow to rest for five minutes before serving; drizzle with leftover sauce.
