- 1 tbsp olive oil

- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

- 1 tsp thyme

- 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed

- 1 lb Brussels sprouts, halved

- 1 red onion, sliced

- 2 cups cooked Basmati rice

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large bowl, mix apple cider, chicken broth, olive oil, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. Add chicken chunks, apples, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and red onion to the bowl, and toss to coat.

4. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish.

5. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.

Tips:

1. Always preheat the oven for even cooking.

2. Cut vegetables to a similar size for uniform cooking.

3. Cover the casserole with foil initially to keep the moisture in, then uncover to allow for browning.
