Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Dice the sweet potato into 1-inch cubes and toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet.
Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy on the edges.
While the sweet potatoes roast, season the chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, mix maple syrup with a pinch of garlic powder to form a glaze.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breast for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
Reduce the heat and brush the chicken generously with the maple glaze, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes per side until fully cooked and the glaze has caramelized.
Plate the chicken breast alongside a serving of roasted sweet potatoes and drizzle any extra glaze over the top.
Serve warm and enjoy your balanced, delicious meal.
