Background
During harvest and the winter months I love the smell of cinnamon all over the house. This super easy cinnamon - maple baked chicken and sweet potato dish not only provides the aroma but it’s very tasty too! Perfect for an easy midweek supper or laid-back weekend meal. Serve a crispy green salad or steamed greens on the side.
