MAPLE-GLAZED CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES

This quick chicken dish is topped with a sweet maple syrup glaze, while refrigerated mashed sweet potatoes serve as a delightful side.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (1 pound 8-ounce) package refrigerated mashed sweet potatoes
  • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins
  • 2 teaspoons steak grilling seasoning blend (such as Montreal)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup sliced green onions (about 4)

DIRECTIONS

  • Prepare sweet potatoes in the microwave according to the package directions.
  • While the potatoes cook, lightly coat the chicken with steak seasoning.
  • Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the chicken. Cook for 5–6 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the chicken is no longer pink (170°F). Remove from skillet, cover, and keep warm.
  • Stir the maple syrup into the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the green onions.
  • Divide the chicken and sweet potatoes among 4 plates, then drizzle with the maple syrup mixture.
