Before starting, preheat the oven to 425°F. Wash and dry all produce.

While chicken roasts, peel, then cut sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces. Combine sweet potatoes, 1 tsp salt and enough water to cover (approx. 1 inch) in a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer, uncovered, until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
While sweet potatoes cook, thinly slice chives. Stir together mayo, sour cream, chives, cheese, baking powder, 2 tbsp water, 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 tsp salt (dbl all for 4 ppl) in a large bowl. Add flour and stir until just combined. Using your hands, press dough together into a loose ball. Flatten dough and press into a 1-inch thick disc. (NOTE: Halve dough and make two discs for 4 ppl.)
Cut the biscuit disc into 8 equal wedges. (NOTE: You will have 16 wedges for 4 ppl.)Transfer biscuits to another parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven, until puffed up and golden, 10-12 min.

Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, 4-5 min. Transfer asparagus to a plate and cover to keep warm.
When sweet potatoes are fork-tender, drain and return to the same pot, off heat. Add maple syrup and 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) to the sweet potatoes. Using a masher, mash together until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Carve chicken. Divide mash, chicken, asparagus and biscuits between plates.
