I don't think I've tried this exact recipe in the Instant Pot but similar ones and I have been disappointed because you don't get that good caramelized flavor you get from the stovetop nor have the sauce soak into the chicken the same. However, I think it could be converted to an oven recipe if that appeals to you at all? It would be a bit less maintenance that way and you could potentially get even more caramelization.","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Rebecca Baron","url":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com"}},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https:\/\/www.mynaturalfamily.com\/maple-roasted-chicken-with-sweet-potatoes\/#Comment2","dateCreated":"2020-04-30 20:15:04","description":"Hi Rebecca,\r\nI'd like to thank you for this recipe, my whole family absolutely loved it (including my picky toddler)!!! I made it a few times and it was devoured super fast (including me lol). I didn't have rosemary so I used dried thyme and it was also nice. I also added the cranberry into the dish when I put into the oven and it added a great extra flavour.\r\nDo you think I'd be able to make it in my Instant Pot? What would you modify\/how long would you cook it in the Pot?

I have tried before with beef stew, and as with the last time unfortunately, the meat is tough. I cooked it for 8-9 hrs. I find beef stew hard to digest. Is there another substitute. BTW - I've been cooking more lately, made my own beef broth, and I love the sweet potato chicken skillet, my place smells great. Just in time for Fall. My neighbours are saying where's that lovely aroma coming from. Shocked that it's my place. I live in a condo.

It's perfect for fall with sweet potatoes and cranberries. The only work is getting started and putting the ingredients in the pan and browning the chicken. After that, all you do is move the pan to the oven and you can do anything you want while the chicken and sweet potatoes get a delicious, caramelized coating on them. Your kitchen will smell fantastic!Fall is officially here in Utah! The trees are starting to get bare. The leaves are falling. The air is cooler. We are now moving into a different type of weather and season. We thought this Maple Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes skillet recipe would be perfect for fall. Really it would be great any time of the year, especially on the Paleo diet. Cause I kinda think the sweet potatoes\/yams - whatever you want to call them - are the perfect Paleo carb.I love how I can throw all the ingredients in one pot and I really like how you get a light caramelization from the sweet potatoes. I love the surprise flavor from the rosemary and the dried cranberries and I love how the entire meal is in one dish.If you don't already grow rosemary, I've found it to be one of the easiest herbs of all to grow. I've had really good luck growing it outdoors in my garden, and sometimes it will even winter over. I've also had good luck growing one indoors under a grow light. I just love to be able to cut fresh rosemary whenever I want.It's one of my favorite herbs and so expensive to buy in the store. If you grow it outside, the plants get huge and you can get tons of it and dry it and dry enough to last for years and\/or to give to all your friends and neighbors.To toast the almonds, put them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 until golden brown. I've never timed how long that takes, but maybe 10 minutes or so.This dish is colorful and flavorful, as well as pretty easy to throw together. I added rosemary because it paired well with the flavors and added a nice pop of color. Make sure to use a pan that is oven-proof, as well as a lid.I haven't tried it, but I totally bet you could use a turkey tenderloin and make this for a simple Thanksgiving dinner for one or two. This dish is really good served with Brussel Sprouts on the side too.I think these Maple Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes turned out great. What do you think? Will you be giving it a try? Do you think your family would eat this and enjoy it? Share your comments and results with me below!What is your favorite part about this Maple Roasted Chicken with Sweet Potatoes recipe? It might even be good for Thanksgiving dinner if you don't want to make a turkey.PrintRecipeclock clock iconcutlery cutlery iconflag flag iconfolder folder iconinstagram instagram iconpinterest pinterest iconfacebook facebook iconprint print iconsquares squares iconheart heart iconheart solid heart solid icon\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMaple Roasted Chicken Sweet Potato Skillet Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t4 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t2 Stars\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1 Star\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t5 from 5 reviews\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAuthor: Rebecca Baron\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrep Time: 30 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCook Time: 45 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTotal Time: 75 minutes\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYield: 6 1x\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCategory: Main Course\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCuisine: Paleo\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPrint Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSave Recipe\t\t\t\t\t\tRecipe Saved\t(function(){\tfunction ensureSlickstream() {\t\treturn new Promise((resolve, reject) => {\t\t\tif (window.slickstream) {\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t} else {\t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener('slickstream-ready', () => {\t\t\t\t\tresolve(window.slickstream.v1);\t\t\t\t});\t\t\t}\t\t});\t}\tfunction updateFavoriteButtonState() {\t\tensureSlickstream().then(function(slickstream) {\t\t\tvar isFavorite = slickstream.favorites.getState();\t\t\tdocument.querySelectorAll('.tasty-recipes-slickstream-button').forEach(function(el) {\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-saved').style.display = isFavorite ? null : 'none';\t\t\t\tel.querySelector('.tasty-recipes-not-saved').style.display = isFavorite ?
