This is one of my favorite recipes ever even before the IC started. It does contain ingredients that are on the 'May be ok' instead of 'Usually ok' list though. I've put these in bold italics with stars. It's super fast and easy to make and tastes fantastic!
The recipe says this makes 4 servings but my fiance and me usually finish all but a small portion of veggies off in one sitting (and we're tiny). I made this when his mom was visiting and used 6 thighs and a bit extra everything else and there were no leftovers so if you have a lot of people to feed might want to double up and use a slightly deeper/bigger pan :)
Ingredients
4 large chicken thighs (calls for skinless 1.5lb bone in but I always use de-boned and sometimes with skin)
2 small sweet potatoes (bout 1lb total), peeled and cut into 1 inch chunks
*1 small onion cut into about 1" wide strips/pieces* (I use a white one)
1/2 of a 16oz bag of baby carrots (you can substitute 8oz of parsnips cut into chunks but I don't see parsnips anywhere on the IC diet list. I love carrots so I just use those)
1/4 cup maple syrup (real deal 100% maple syrup)
1tsp of salt and *1/2 tsp of pepper*
preheat over to 450F
in a 15x10 jelly roll pan or shallow roasting pan, combine chicken, sweet potatoes, onions, carrots, maple syrup, salt and pepper. Toss or mix with hands to coat everything evenly.
roast 40-45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and liquid in pan thickens slightly. Stir mixture and turn chicken over once halfway through roasting.
enjoy!
