Preparation

Mise en place
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Halve the Brussels sprouts (or quarter if very large). Peel and halve the turnips; cut into ½ inch wedges. Peel and medium-dice the sweet potatoes.

Roast the vegetables
On a lined sheet pan, toss the sweet potatoes, turnips and Brussels sprouts with a drizzle of oil, ⅔ of the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 20 to 25 min., until golden brown and tender.

Cook the chicken
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Pat the chicken* dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. Cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board, leaving any browned bits in the pan. Reserve the pan. Let rest for 5 min. before slicing against the grain.

Make the sauce
Heat the reserved pan on medium. Add 1 tbsp butter, ⅓ cup water (double both for 4 portions), the demi-glace, maple syrup and vinegar. Cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, 1 to 2 min., until slightly reduced.

Plate your dish
Divide the vegetables between your plates. Top with the chicken and spoon the sauce over. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking poultry to a minimum internal temperature of 74°C.
