Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 medium yams, peeled and cubed
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  3. Season the chicken breasts with paprika, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook until browned on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the sliced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the cubed yams to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together the chicken broth, maple syrup, and Dijon mustard. Pour the mixture over the yams and onions in the skillet.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the yam mixture.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the yams are tender.
  9. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
  10. Serve the yammy chicken hot with steamed rice or mashed potatoes.
  11. Enjoy!
