  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Spread them evenly on one half of the baking sheet.
  3. Combine the chicken breasts with the remaining olive oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss until coated.
  4. Arrange the glazed chicken on the other half of the baking sheet, ensuring enough space between pieces.
  5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) internal temperature and sweet potatoes are tender.
  6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat and toast the chopped pecans for 3-4 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, sprinkle toasted pecans over sweet potatoes, and garnish chicken with fresh parsley before serving.
