Very good, just the right amount of "mapley" flavor. Thank you

This was delicious. My 6-yr old who rarely eats carrots ate hers all up! That is really something! I loved the maple glaze, and especially the thickened chewy bits that caramelized. Perfect flavors for when the weather starts to get cold and you want something homey. Thanks, MsSally!

We loved the flavor of the chicken. Cooking with the three vegetables and syrup gave it a great taste. The vegetables, however, were disappointing for us. It seemed like they simmered in juices more than roasted in a high heat. This was probably my fault due to cookware choice. Therefore, this review is based on the taste of the chicken and not the vegetables.

This was a very tasty dinner! I used both carrots and parsnips and was perhaps a little generous with the maple syrup. Everything was nicely carmelized. Even my daughter (who normally turns her nose up at sweet potatoes and parsnips) had two helpings. I will be making this on a regular basis. Thanks MsSally!
