Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create the glaze.
Place 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the glaze over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is baking, peel and chop 2 large sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil the sweet potatoes in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes, or until fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and return them to the pot. Add 1/4 cup of milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and a pinch of cinnamon, then mash until smooth and creamy.
Once the chicken is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve the glazed chicken over a generous scoop of sweet potato mash, drizzling any remaining glaze from the baking dish on top for extra flavor.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve warm.
