CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES

Yummy and easy!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Other: 1 hour 25 minutes
Yield: Makes 4 servings
Ingredients

* 1 3 1/2- to 4-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces( I used chicken breasts)
* 1 yellow onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
* 2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks(I also added regular potatoes for Ron. I would microwave first so as not to overcook the chicken.
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
* 3 tablespoons maple syrup
* 6 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tbsp of dried thyme

Preparation
Heat oven to 400° F. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Arrange the chicken, onion, and sweet potatoes in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Drizzle the oil over the chicken and vegetables and season with the salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Drizzle with the maple syrup and top with the sprigs of thyme.

Roast, stirring the vegetables once, until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Tip: The maple glaze can also be used with a whole chicken or Cornish game hens.
