Preheat the oven to 210 degrees Celsius.

Line a baking tray with baking paper.

Mix the maple-flavoured syrup and wholegrain mustard together in a small jug.

Chop the Coles roasting vegetables into smaller 2-centimetre pieces.

Add the vegetables to the tray and drizzle with half the maple syrup mixture, then toss to coat evenly.

Roast the vegetables for 5 minutes.

Cut 3 deep slits in the chicken breast fillets to help the heat penetrate.

Spray the chicken with olive oil spray to prevent sticking.

Season the chicken and cook in a hot non-stick frying pan for 2 ½ minutes on each side until golden brown.

Arrange the chicken on top of the vegetables and drizzle with the remaining maple syrup mixture.

Roast for another 10 minutes.

Add the brussels sprouts to the tray and keep roasting for another 10 minutes.

Check that the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
