Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Dice sweet potato into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Place in a large microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Microwave until softened, 5-7 minutes. (You’ll finish the sweet potato in Step 5.)
• Meanwhile, trim and halve zucchini lengthwise; slice crosswise into 1⁄2-inch- thick half-moons. Halve, peel, and slice onion into 1⁄2-inch-thick wedges.
• In a small bowl combine Vidalia onion paste, mustard, half the maple syrup, and 2 TBSP water (all the maple syrup and 4 TBSP water for 4 servings). Season with pepper.
• Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between two large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about 1⁄2 inch thick. Lightly season all over with salt and pepper. • Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Remove pan from heat. Add maple Dijon sauce and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings), stirring until butter has melted and turning chicken to evenly coat. TIP: If sauce seems too thick, add a splash or two of water.
• While chicken cooks, heat a large drizzle of oil in a second large pan over medium-high heat. Add sweet potato, zucchini, and onion wedges; season with salt and pepper. • Cook, stirring, until softened and lightly browned, 5-7 minutes (7-10 minutes for 4 servings).
• Divide vegetable jumble between plates or shallow bowls. Top with chicken. Spoon any remaining maple Dijon sauce from pan over chicken and vegetables. Serve.
Chicken is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 165°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This was delicious! The maple dijon sauce was a perfect addition to what would be plain old chicken. The veggies were a great mixture that blended together into a yummy accompaniment.
I feel like the portion sizes of the vegetables could have been a bit more generous, but overall it was a very tasty meal! The chicken in particular had a very good flavor with the maple sauce.
I'm not a huge fan of onions. However, after having them roasted with sweet potatoes (another Hello Fresh recipe), I loved the combination. My personal preference is roasted; this recipe is cooking both together with zucchini on the stovetop. Not my fave. The chicken was incredibly good.
The sauce for the chicken was just right; a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The vegetables will now be a regular part of our meal plan!!! Delicious!!!
Love the flavors and ease of recipe. Will definitely make this again. I do wish the sweet potato and zucchini had been larger though. Or a larger sweet potato and a yellow squash to go with. Needed just a bit more. We were both hungry after. Otherwise loved it.
I've had this one before, and I just really love it! I love that it is low in calories! I also think the sauce is SO GOOD! Last time I made it, my sweet potato got over-cooked in the microwave and had a gummy texture (cooked it for 5 minutes that time). This time, I cut the sweet potato into larger chunks and only microwaved it for 4 minutes. It turned out so much better this time! Love love love this recipe!
Very good with really great nutrition facts (good on carbs and calories)! The sauce was more savory than I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it! I was kind of expecting this dish to be a let down, but it was surprisingly good (especially given its simplicity)! The only thing that could be better was the sweet potato. Microwaving it (which I did for the lowest time of the time range given) gave it a strange, chewy texture. It was still ok, but could have been better. Overall, I really liked this one!
Nice flavor. I like my onions more cooked, so finely diced them and sautéed for a few minutes prior to adding the zucchini and sweet potato. The zucchini ended up a little soggy, but not bad enough to affect the meal overall. Would repeat.
One or no onion paste would allow the Dijon and maple to stick out more in the sauce. Red onion was bigger than the sweet potato. Too much onion flavor. I opted to keep the red onion out and it was still too much with the paste
Very healthy, great flavors. However, the portions of veggies were rather small. Only received 1 small sweet potato, hardly enough for two people. Red onion and zucchini were also small. Expected more for the cost.
