Glazed Chicken and Sweet Potatoes
Ingredients:
- 1½ lbs. sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 lb. chicken tenders
- 1 Tbsp. steak seasoning
- 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup sliced green onions
Directions:
- Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, and then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Leave as is or mash the potatoes, and set aside.
- Sprinkle chicken tenders with steak seasoning; heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken tenders until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Stir the maple syrup into the skillet, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the skillet. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes and stir in the green onions.
- To serve, place the mashed sweet potatoes onto a serving platter, top with the chicken tenders and pour the maple sauce over the chicken.
