Recipe...


I've decided that every now and then I am going to post a healthy recipe that I've had success with! Perhaps once a week??? This is my new favorite meal!


Maple Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes
1 3 1/2 to 4 lb chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 yellow onion, cut into 1 inch wedges
2 small sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch wedges
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper (I didn't measure, I just put it all over the top of it)
4 tbsp. light maple syrup
6 sprigs fresh thyme (or 2 tsp. dried)

1. Heat oven to 400 degrees (F). Rinse the chicken and pat it dry. Arrange chicken, onion, and sweet potatoes in a 9-by-13 baking dish.
2. Drizzle the oil over the chicken and vegetables and season with the salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
3. Drizzle with the maple syrup and top with thyme.
4. Roast, stirring the vegetables once, until the chicken is cooked through, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
