Preparation
Start the traybake
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Medium-dice the potatoes. Halve and peel the beets; cut into ½ inch wedges. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, 10 min., until partially cooked.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, halve and core the fennel bulb lengthwise; small-dice. In a small bowl, combine the fennel, a drizzle of oil and S&P. Pick the thyme leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
Finish the traybake
When the vegetables are partially cooked, remove from the oven, stir and add the fennel. Roast, stirring halfway, 12 to 15 min., until tender. Drizzle with ½ the vinegar.
Cook & glaze the chicken
Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towel; season with the remaining spices and S&P. In a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the chicken* and cook, partially covered, 6 to 8 min. per side, until cooked through. Add 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp water (double both for 4 portions), the maple syrup, thyme and remaining vinegar. Cook, spooning the glaze over the chicken, 1 to 2 min., until coated.
Plate your dish
Divide the traybake and chicken (slice beforehand if desired) between your plates. Drizzle with any remaining glaze. Bon appétit!
