When I was a young girl, my mother created these. Of course, we would love to eat them after helping her. Sprinkle with cinnamon, sugar (granulated or powdered), or both. Delicious!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 2 teaspoons steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ½ cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Place the sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. Mash the potatoes, and set aside.
- Sprinkle chicken tenders with steak seasoning; heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken tenders until the meat is lightly browned and no longer pink inside, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Remove the chicken, and set aside. Stir the maple syrup into the skillet, scraping up and dissolving any browned flavor bits from the skillet. Bring to a boil, simmer for 2 minutes, and stir in the green onions.
- To serve, place the mashed sweet potatoes onto a serving platter, top with the chicken tenders, and pour the maple sauce over the chicken.

Easy,delicious did put butter in sweet potatoes but that’s all! will make again!
I used red onion and burger seasoning because that’s what I had on hand. I added a little butter to the sweet potatoes and threw some bacon into the syrup as I simmered the onions. The smell in the kitchen is lovely! The meal was great and so easy! Thank you!
This was SO GOOD! I made it quite a bit differently though, but I think I got a pretty similar result. I oven roasted the potatoes (flesh side down on parchment paper, 400° for 50 minutes.) I sauteed chicken breast after seasoning with salt, pepper, steak seasoning, and a dash of chili powder. Once I removed the chicken breast from the pan, I directly put a bunch of shoelace cut red onion on the pan until it was completely sauteed and soaked up all that yummy chicken seasoning. I added 1/3 cup of SUGAR FREE syrup and constantly stirred for about 1 minute. It started to blacken quickly so I took it right off and put the onions on top of the chicken bowl. I added some peas for a little extra mmph. Starting from the bottom of the bowl it was 1/2 a mashed sweet potato, 4 oz chicken, 1/3 cup of peas, small pile of sweet syrupy red onion. It was SO. STINKING. GOOD!
I used the air fryer for the chicken tenders- cooked from frozen/ rubbed a little avocado oil on them and seasoned with steak seasoning- air fryed on 400 for 15 minutes turning once. Washed, poked and put a sweet potato in the microwave for 6 minutes. Cut up a bunch of green onions; once potato was cooked I put the onions on it, poured some 100% pure maple syrup on it and then topped it with the chicken. Fast healthy and yum!
The recipe calls for green onions but the picture is clearly using red onions, when and how is it prepared, using the onions.
I was not happy with this recipe. Was bland and not sweet.
Surprisingly good! I added a good amount of butter and S&P to the sweet potatoes…excellent, I will make this again!
I was skeptical at first but who doesn’t like a maple I used chicken thighs instead of tenders for the recipe and followed the rest. I prepared the chicken as directed and baked them for 30 mins and fried them for an additional 3-4 mins each side. It was delicious I will be making this again!
Awesome recipe. Fast and tasty. I didn’t have enough sweet potatoes so I added a few regular potatoes and it was good.
Absolutely delicious
Delicious change for a weeknight dinner. I didn’t have onions but made everything else as directed. Adding this to my rotation. Thank you!!
I made this fantastic recipe just as written. I used 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast for Jj and myself and cut them into cutlets, very simple to do. This recipe is very easy and quick, I’m making this again tonight! Thanks for a great recipe Barbie.
The BF liked this quite a bit. I baked the potato instead, so during that time I marinated the cut up boneless, skinless chicken thighs (he likes those better than breasts) in the steak seasoning. Mashed the potato with a bit of butter. After I browned the chicken and removed them from the pan (I was another that used red onion vs the green) I caramelized the red onion…I only had a sugar-free syrup but suppose that’s okay. I did use the chopped green onion on top and that really made for a pretty dish.
Made it and the only thing we changed was adding a table spoon of brown sugar to the sauce. Sooo good.
This was a pretty yummy meal! I did add butter and brown sugar to the potatoes, just because I like it that way. I added pats of butter on top of the chicken towards the end of the sauteing, and cut the syrup to 1/4 cup. I pan fried some onions and shallots to top it off, that made all the difference! I would definitely recommend this dish, and I will make it again! Thanks
Amazing recipe and it’s become a monthly staple!
My family and I loved it! Made just as directed.
Love this recipe! It has become a staple in our house. Easy and delicious!
My new favorite dish to make! Super easy too. Even a college student with basic cooking skills can do this. I personally do not measure anything anymore. I use breast tenders which have stayed juicy every time. Don’t cook the chicken too long or it will get a little dry. Sometimes I use peeled sweet potatoes and add butter and a little brown sugar or I use red potatoes with the skin and add butter and a little heavy cream. Salt the water when you boil the potatoes. I like to add a ton of green onions but that’s just me. I also just pour enough maple syrup to make enough sauce. Measuring things in this recipe isn’t a big deal. I also rubbed my chicken with smokehouse maple seasoning from the McCormick grill mates brand. I am so happy I came across this recipe!
Very easy. We didn’t make the sweet potatoes, did brown rice instead. It would be even better with potatoes to soak up the glaze more.
I used chicken breasts butterflied and cut into strips. I also left out the onion and added chopped (cooked) bacon. Then I layered it into a baking pan and popped it into the oven for 10 minutes. So yummy!
