Maple Mustard Chicken and Sweet Potatoes Skillet

We absolutely love sweet potatoes at our place. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, they always taste amazing and elevate any meal! This Maple Mustard Chicken and Sweet Potato Skillet is a quick and delicious one-pan meal that’s also Paleo and gluten-free. I love one-skillet meals because they are great for weekdays/-nights.

I made the maple mustard glaze for the chicken with Maple Mustard sauce from Steve’s Paleo Goods, garlic, fresh lemon juice, ghee. It was so good! I was so excited to find a Maple Mustard sauce that is Paleo. You know how hard it is to find Paleo condiments and dressings that are not made with various additives, flavorings, and suspicious ingredients? This Maple Mustard sauce from Steve’s Paleo Goods tastes really good! I was impressed by all the other great Paleo products they offer. They sent me a sample to try and I must say that I love the Apple Pie Granola. They have freshly crafted protein bars, USDA-certified jerky, dried fruit (psst the strawberries are super tasty!), grain-free granola bars, nut butter, sauces, and much more.

And when you eat their snacks, there is no need to worry. I love that they keep it natural –
• No gluten
• No dairy
• No soy
• No artificial preservatives
• No added sugars
