Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Mix maple syrup and Dijon mustard to create glaze. Add chicken, brush with glaze, and cook for 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and reaches 165°F.
  2. Prepare sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts by cubing and halving them. Toss with olive oil, salt, and optional spices. Spread on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 25-30 minutes.
  3. Rinse brown or wild rice under cold water. Combine with water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 30-40 minutes until fluffy.
  4. After chicken rests, slice it into strips. Assemble bowls with rice, sliced chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts.
  5. Mix remaining glaze with a splash of olive oil for drizzle. Pour over bowls and top with pecans and cranberries. Serve warm.
