Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken breasts skinless, boneless (about 3 medium-large breasts)
- 1 (16 oz.) sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1 (8 oz.) apple large, cubed (Honey crisp or Pink lady are great)
- 5 cups Broccoli florets
- 1 cup red onion roughly chopped
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
Apple Cider Glaze:
- 3/4 cup apple cider or apple juice, NOT ac vinegar
- 2 Tablespoon honey
- 1 Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon crush red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Chicken rub:
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar or brown sugar substitute like Swerve
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- On a sheet pan, add the diced sweet potato, diced apple (no need to peel), and red onion. Set aside.
- Make the apple cider glaze: in a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider, honey, mustard, red pepper flakes, and salt. (Reserve 2-3 Tbsp to glaze the chicken later.) Pour the remaining glaze over the potatoes, apple and onion on the pan and toss together. Sprinkle with seasoning salt. Bake the potatoes and vegetables for 20 minutes.
- While the potatoes & apple cook, mix together the wet-rub for the chicken. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and olive oil. Coat each chicken breast with the wet rub.
- Once the potatoes have cooked for 20 minutes, remove from the oven. Place the chicken in the center of the pan with the vegetables and potatoes. Add the broccoli florets to the pan at this time as well. Pour the remaining apple cider glaze over the top of the chicken. Cook all ingredients for another 30 minutes at 400 degrees.
- Chicken should be done after 30 minutes. Test with an instant read or meat thermometer - internal temp should be 165 degrees.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use Apple cider, NOT apple cider vinegar: Please make sure you are using apple cider or apple juice (like the drink.) Please note that apple cider and apple cider vinegar are NOT interchangeable. The glaze is a sweet addition to the vegetables and chicken not something sharply acidic.
Note about chicken breasts: sizes of chicken breasts vary widely! A thicker breast will take longer to cook, so be sure you are using an instant read meat thermometer to test doneness. If you prefer, you can also cube the chicken breasts for more even cooking.
Boneless, skinless thighs can be substituted for the chicken breasts.
Maple syrup can be substituted for the honey.
