Maple Glazed Chicken with Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Makes 3-4 servings
Ingredients:
|
| 1. | Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes, and divide between four dishes (or if you’re meal prepping, divide the mashed sweet potatoes into your container of choice). |
| 2. | Sprinkle chicken tenders with steak seasoning; heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, spray with non-stick cooking spray and cook the chicken tenders until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set on top of the mashed sweet potatoes. |
| 3. |
Reduce heat to medium and stir the maple syrup into the skillet, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the skillet. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes, and stir in the green onions. Pour the maple sauce over the chicken and serve.
Soooo um. Maybe I don’t own a potato masher. It’s cool, wooden spoons do the job just fine! I nearly forgot to turn down the heat for the maple syrup eeeeeek! Could have been a few expletives if I had burnt my delicious maple syrup.
I served it with a little bit of broccoli that I had left over in my fridge. I just cut it up, put it in a small microwaveable bowl and added a touch of Mrs. Dash. Then I put a damp paper towel over top of the bowl and stuck it in the microwave for 2 minutes. Tada! Steamed broccoli with zero hassle 🙂
