Place the sweet potatoes and chicken in a large bowl. Pour about one third of the maple dijon mixture over the chicken and sweet potatoes, and give everything a toss to fully coat. Spread the chicken and sweet potatoes out on a large sheet pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
1 medium sweet potato
While the chicken and sweet potatoes are in the oven, add the Brussels sprouts to the same bowl. Pour another third of the maple dijon mixture over the sprouts and toss to coat well.
1 pound Brussels sprouts
Add the Brussels sprouts to the sheet pan with the chicken and sweet potatoes. Bake for another 15-20 minutes until the Brussels are browned and crispy.
Drizzle the remaining maple dijon mixture over the chicken, sweet potatoes, and Brussels Sprouts before serving.
Notes
If your chicken breasts are large, lay them flat on a cutting board and slice in half to create two thinner pieces of chicken.
