Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by marinating the chicken in a bowl with maple syrup, Dijon mustard, olive oil, and minced garlic. Let it marinate for at least 15-30 minutes.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes, toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast for about 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat and cook the marinated chicken for about 7-10 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  4. Assemble the bowls by placing grains as the base, adding fresh greens, roasted sweet potatoes, and sliced chicken.
  5. Drizzle any remaining Maple Dijon sauce over the assembled bowls before serving warm.
