Equipment

1 cast iron skillet (or enamel skillet)

Ingredients

6 chicken thigh (with skin and bones)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
2 tbsp vegetable oil (avocado oil or ghee)
2 sweet potatoes
1 apple (Your favorite kind. I use Honey Crisp apple.)
¼ tsp cinnamon (optional to sprinkle on sweet potatoes and apple before baking)
1 carrot
1 bell pepper
1 cup fresh cranberry
3 sprigs rosemary (or thyme)

For Balsamic Maple Glaze

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp minced garlic
5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
½ cup maple syrup
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

Pre-heat the oven at 375℉.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a pan over medium heat, add a little oil, and sear the chicken for 3 minutes per side, starting with the skin side down.
While the chicken cooks, chop the sweet potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and apple. For added flavor, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon on the apple and sweet potatoes.
Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, bell pepper, apple, and cranberries to the pan. Arrange the carrots and sweet potatoes toward the bottom so they cook in the juices and soften easily. Add a few sprigs of rosemary and/or thyme on top.
Transfer the pan to the oven and bake uncovered for 45 minutes.
While the chicken bakes, prepare the balsamic maple glaze. Melt butter in a small saucepan, then sauté minced garlic for 5-10 seconds. Add balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, and pure maple syrup. Bring the glaze to a boil for 1-2 minutes, then let it cool to thicken.
About 30 minutes into baking, drizzle half of the glaze over the chicken.
Brush or drizzle the remaining glaze over the chicken when serving. Enjoy the perfect maple-glazed chicken with apples and roasted vegetables!
