Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by preheating a stovetop grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then brush them generously with the maple-Dijon glaze. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is golden brown. Once done, remove the chicken and let it rest to retain its juices.
- While the chicken is resting, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cube the sweet potatoes and halve the Brussels sprouts, then toss them in a large bowl with olive oil, salt, and your chosen spices. Spread the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through.
- While the vegetables are roasting, prepare your brown or wild rice according to package instructions.
- Once everything is cooked, assemble your bowls by starting with a layer of the fluffy cooked rice, topping with sliced rested chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.
- Drizzle any remaining maple-Dijon sauce over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans or dried cranberries before serving.

Notes
Allow chicken to rest after cooking to enhance flavor. Check vegetables for doneness around the 20-minute mark to prevent them from becoming mushy. Experiment with spices to add flavor.
