NUTRITION
4 cups (530g) sweet potato, chopped
4 cups (350g) Brussels sprouts, halved
1 tbsp. oil (avocado works excellent for high heat)
1 tbsp. maple syrup
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tsp. fresh thyme
⅛ tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. pepper
Chicken:
3 large breasts with skin on and bone-in
3 cloves garlic
3 tsp. fresh thyme
⅛ tsp. salt
⅛ tsp. pepper
1 ½ tsp. oil (avocado or olive)
3 tsp. balsamic vinegar
18 cherry tomatoes
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Peel and chop sweet potatoes into similar sized pieces as the Brussels sprouts for an even cooking time.
Step 3
Cut the ends off the Brussels sprouts and cut in half if they are medium- large sized.
Step 4
Remove the thyme leaves from the stem and crush. Peel and crush the garlic.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the maple syrup with one of the crushed garlic cloves and add in the balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon of thyme and season with a little salt and pepper.
Step 6
Place the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts onto a large cooking sheet and mix well with balsamic marinade. Set aside.
Step 7
In a separate bowl, mix the remaining 3 crushed garlic cloves with 3 teaspoon of thyme, oil, balsamic vinegar, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine and spread over the chicken breasts, covering both sides.
Step 8
Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Place the chicken into the hot pan and sear for 3-4 minutes on each.
Step 9
Now place the chicken into an ovenproof dish along with the cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle the cherry tomatoes with a little salt and pepper and balsamic vinegar.
Step 10
Place chicken in the oven and roast for 30 minutes. After the chicken has been in the oven for 5 minutes, place the tray with the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts into the oven.
Note:
The chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove both dishes from the oven and serve immediately.
Besides being packed with vitamins, tomatoes are also a good source of fibre.
