Maple Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Onions

Not only was this recipe delicious but it makes your house smell like maple-syrup, which if you ask me is awesome! I meant to buy sweet potatoes but accidentally bought regular potatoes; however, feel free to make this recipe with either. I modified this recipe from Real Simple. Could also add apples, parsnips, or carrots to the recipe depending on your preferences.

Maple Roasted Chicken with Potatoes and Onions

• 3 boneless chicken breasts (cut into 1 inch strips)

• 3 tbsp of maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp of thyme

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Chop the potatoes into 1 inch cubes and the onion into 1 inch wedges. Cut the raw chicken into 1 inch strips.
