Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of maple syrup, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.
Place 800 g of chicken thighs in a baking dish. Pour the maple syrup mixture over the chicken and toss to coat evenly.
Top the chicken with 0.5 cup of chopped walnuts and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and glazed.
While the chicken is baking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium heat.
Add 1 cup of diced sweet potato and 100 g of diced onion to the pot and sauté for 5 to 7 minutes until the sweet potato is tender.
Stir in 1 cup of basmati rice and cook for 1 minute until the rice is lightly toasted.
Add 2 cups of chicken broth and 0.5 cup of dried cranberries to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the broth is absorbed.
Fluff the pilaf with a fork and serve alongside the glazed chicken thighs.
