Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium boneless, skinless chicken breasts (14 oz)
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced (18 oz)
- 4 cups kale, stems removed, chopped (4.2 oz)
- 1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced
- 3.5 oz goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted (1 oz)
- 4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (for roasting)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste (for roasting)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss diced sweet potatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread on half of the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle chicken breasts with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and arrange on the other half of the baking sheet.
- Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping sweet potatoes halfway through until potatoes are tender and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Whisk together balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until emulsified to create the vinaigrette.
- In a large bowl, massage chopped kale with a drizzle of vinaigrette for about 1 minute until slightly softened.
- Divide dressed kale among 4 bowls. Top each with roasted sweet potatoes, sliced chicken, apple slices, crumbled goat cheese, and toasted almonds.
- Drizzle each bowl with remaining balsamic vinaigrette and serve immediately.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute the chicken with a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
- Roasting time may vary; ensure the chicken is fully cooked and the sweet potatoes are tender.
