Cooking Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In the same bowl, add chicken breasts with remaining olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Place the coated chicken breasts on the other half of the baking sheet.
  5. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and sweet potatoes become tender.
