During the week, meat and three veg is a quick way to get dinner on the table, but with this recipe, you’ll find that the staple dish has become more vibrant with a simple marinade. Mustard, vinegar and maple transform to give a wonderful sweet and tangy flavour to the chicken.

Maple syrup

2 tsp

Dijon mustard

1 tbs

Balsamic vinegar

Skinless chicken breast

500 g, (Buy 2 x 250g) halved horizontally

Orange sweet potato (kumara)

500 g, peeled, cut into 1cm thick rounds

Instructions

  1. Combine maple syrup, mustard, vinegar and rosemary in a shallow glass or ceramic dish. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and set aside for 10 minutes to marinate.
  2. Meanwhile, place sweet potato and 2 tablespoons of water in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on High (100%) for 4 minutes or until almost tender. Drain.
