Steps:
- Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, 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. 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.

SHEET-PAN CHICKEN WITH SWEET POTATOES AND PEPPERS
This sheet-pan supper brings velvety sweet potatoes together with soft bell peppers, pungent sage and roasted chicken thighs. To counter the rich and caramelized flavors, quick-pickled thinly sliced red onion adds a bright and zippy note right at the end. If you prefer chicken breasts, you can use them here instead of the thighs. Choose bone-in, skin-on breasts if possible, and keep an eye on them. They'll cook faster than the thighs. Remove them when they're ready, but let the vegetables roast until they thoroughly golden and tender.

Steps:
- In a small, shallow bowl, mix together vinegar and honey. Mix in half the red onion and a pinch of salt and set aside for garnish, tossing the mixture occasionally as the chicken cooks.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 teaspoon salt, garlic, coriander and black pepper. Add chicken to bowl and rub the mixture all over it. Let marinate for 30 minutes.
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss together 2 tablespoons oil, sweet potato, pepper, remaining onion, sage, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, cayenne and allspice. Spread vegetables out on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil to marinated chicken and turn to coat. Place chicken pieces, skin-side up, among the vegetables, making sure chicken is surrounded by them, but not on top of them. (Chicken should rest directly on the baking sheet.)
- Roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven and raise heat to 450 degrees. Use a wide spatula to flip vegetables over (but not chicken). Drizzle chicken (but not vegetables) with 2 teaspoons liquid from the onion-vinegar mixture. Roast until chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes longer.
- To serve, top chicken and vegetables with a spoonful of onion-vinegar mixture and plenty of cilantro leaves.

Steps:
- For chicken:
- Place onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, honey, ground allspice, chopped fresh ginger, chopped fresh thyme, salt, ground black pepper, seeded and minced chile, cinnamon, and nutmeg in processor. Purée marinade until coarse paste forms. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag. Add marinade to chicken in bag and seal. Turn chicken to coat. Refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight, turning chicken occasionally.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange chicken pieces, with marinade still clinging to chicken, on rimmed baking sheet. Brush chicken with oil. Roast until cooked through, about 45 minutes.
- Meanwhile, for sweet potatoes:
- Spray another rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Whisk butter, honey, lime juice, and ground cinnamon in large bowl. Add potato slices; toss to coat. Arrange potato slices in single layer on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake potatoes alongside chicken until tender, about 25 minutes. Serve chicken with potatoes, passing mango chutney separately.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken or chicken parts with skin on and bone-in for maximum flavor. If using a whole chicken, spatchcock it for even cooking.
- Season the chicken generously: Use a flavorful blend of herbs, spices, and seasonings to coat the chicken inside and out. This will help create a delicious crust.
- Roast the chicken at a high temperature: This will help to crisp the skin and seal in the juices. Start by roasting the chicken at 425°F (220°C) for 30 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350°F (175°C) and continue roasting until the chicken is cooked through.
- Use a variety of fruits and vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish. Some good options include apples, pears, carrots, potatoes, and onions.
- Make a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what will give the chicken its sweet and sticky coating. Use a combination of fruit juice, honey, and spices to create a glaze that is both delicious and visually appealing.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure there is enough space between the chicken and the vegetables so that everything can cook evenly.
- Roast until the chicken is cooked through: The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served hot, straight out of the oven. Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
Conclusion:
Glazed chicken with fruit and sweet potatoes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The chicken is roasted to perfection and coated in a flavorful glaze, while the fruits and vegetables add sweetness and texture. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
