Ingredients

For the chicken:

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup pecans, finely chopped

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 2 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 tbsp bourbon

For the sweet potatoes:

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & sliced into ½-inch medallions

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped

  • Salt & pepper to taste

For garnish:

  • Fresh thyme sprigs

  • Extra drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat & prepare:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place your Platinum Flex Pan on medium heat on the stovetop.

  2. Sweet potatoes first:
    Toss the medallions with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Layer them in the Flex Pan in a single layer. Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

  3. Prepare chicken coating:
    In a small bowl, mix pecans, panko, parsley, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
    In another bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and bourbon.

  4. Coat chicken:
    Brush each chicken breast with the maple-bourbon mixture, then press into the pecan coating until fully covered.

  5. Assemble in the Flex Pan:
    Arrange sweet potato medallions along the bottom of the pan. Place the pecan-crusted chicken breasts on top.

  6. Bake:
    Transfer the Flex Pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 25–30 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165°F internally.

  7. Finish & serve:
    Remove from oven, drizzle lightly with maple syrup, and garnish with thyme sprigs.
