Maple Roasted Chicken with Vegetables

Ready to put in the oven!  Cooked in a Dutch Oven!

The colorful array of vegetables!

This a great Fall recipe and provides just the right amount of warmth and comfort.  It's rather seasonal with the sweet potato component and the colors from the vegetables make the meal look picturesque!


Recipe:  Easily Serves Four

Ingredients:


1 1/2 Pounds of Chicken Thighs
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 1/2 Cups of Carrots Chopped and Peeled
3 Cups of Sweet Potatoes Peeled and chopped into small cubes
3/4 Red Onion Chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
1 Cup of Maple Syrup
1 Teaspoon of Honey
2 Tbsp. of Olive Oil
2-3 Tbsp of Fresh Thyme
1 Tbsp of Garlic Salt or Poultry Seasoning






Arrange the Chicken thighs into the bottom of a baking dish (I prefer a dutch oven). Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt/Poultry Seasoning to taste.  Layer the sweet potatoes, red onion, and carrots along the top of it.  Drizzle the maple syrup and olive oil over all of it.  Sprinkle with Thyme.  Toss it all together.


Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake at 375 degrees for thirty minutes.  Remove the foil and cook an additional 15 minutes until the chicken is cooked.  Let stand, covered with foil for 7-8 minutes.


Now you are ready to eat!  This dish is great paired with stuffing and gravy!  Enjoy!
