Ingredients
Scale

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups broccoli florets (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix together the Dijon mustard, maple syrup, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken breasts to the sheet pan and brush them with the maple Dijon mixture.
- Arrange broccoli florets around the chicken and sweet potatoes if using.

Notes
Check the chicken for doneness with a meat thermometer; it should reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Marinating the chicken in the glaze for a couple of hours can boost flavor.
