A favorite around our home is this Maple Cinnamon Chicken, I’m sure it will be in yours too!
I shared this recipe several years ago, but I knew I had to share it again because it’s become such a staple in our home each week.
This is one of those meals that I go to when we have a busy week ahead, plus everyone loves it. Is it just me or has this month been just consumed with activities?
We aren’t even in that many activities and yet still we are constantly busy. Thankfully, meals like this help keep my sanity and keep us out of the drive thru at least some of the time!
There are some recipes that I just immediately fall in love with, this was one of them! During these cold winter months, I just love to do one-dish style dinners especially the ones that make my house smell wonderful.
This dish is a mix of apples, sweet potatoes, chicken drumsticks, then some delicious real maple syrup and cinnamon.
I simply prepped the dish and popped it in the oven and let it bake for about an hour. It’s a good thing to note, be sure to check it about halfway through the cooking time and mix it up a bit so that the veggies do not dry out.
I found there was plenty of juice in mine, but it just needed to be mixed.
As my daughter gets full force into the two year old age, I find myself leaning more and more on these one-dish dinners. I rarely get much time in the kitchen at dinner time, so it’s just necessary.
