Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C).
In a mixing bowl, whisk together coarse ground Dijon mustard, pure maple syrup, and water until smooth.
Trim excess fat from chicken thighs and season with kosher salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Sear the chicken thighs skin-side down for about 5 minutes.
Push the chicken to the side of the skillet, add minced garlic and the prepared maple mustard sauce, stirring to combine.
Toss in the sweet potatoes, ensuring they are well coated, and simmer for a couple of minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast for 30 minutes.
Add the green beans to the skillet, stirring into the pan juices, and roast for an additional 15 minutes.
Check that the chicken is fully cooked before serving it with the remaining sauce drizzled over.
