Cooking Instructions

  • Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk together maple syrup and Dijon mustard to create a glaze. Add chicken, brush with glaze, and cook until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, combine sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, cinnamon, and rosemary. Toss, spread out, and roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  • Prepare the rice according to package instructions in a medium saucepan. Bring water to a boil, add rice, lower heat, cover, and simmer until tender, about 30–40 minutes.
  • Assemble bowls by placing cooked rice as the base, layering with sliced glazed chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.
  • Drizzle remaining maple Dijon sauce over the top. Sprinkle with chopped pecans and dried cranberries if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, ensure even cuts of vegetables and keep cooked items separated when storing to maintain texture.
