In a medium bowl, add sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. Drizzle with 2 Tbsp. of olive oil and toss with ⅔ of the spice mixture. Toss well to coat. Pour into the baking dish.
Pat chicken dry. Drizzle with the remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil and season with the remaining spice blend.
Nestle the chicken on top of the vegetables. Drizzle the entire dish with the ¼ cup of maple syrup.
