I do, that’s for sure! We eat chicken at least twice a week – if not for dinner, than certainly for lunch. I need as many chicken recipes as I can collect.
Mustard and Maple Glazed Chicken
Maple and Mustard Glazed Chicken and Sweet Potato Wedges
This chicken dish adapted from All Recipes is an example of the perfect chicken recipe. It includes a sweet and spicy glaze of maple syrup, grainy mustard and fresh thyme that can easily serve double-duty on all kinds of vegetables.
It was perfect with my sweet potato wedges, and even better with these baked beets.
Mustard and Maple Glazed Beets
See what I mean about double-duty? All I had to do was double the sauce to roast with my vegetables, and I had a colorful meal.
A rainbow of colors means healthy and delicious, so I’m feeling pretty darn good about dinner tonight. Happy cooking!
Serves 4
I doubled the sauce in this recipe and reserved half as a glaze for the potatoes and beets. Simply cook the sauce down for 5 minutes in a saucepan, then pour over vegetables. Roast the vegetables in the oven along side the chicken.
