Healthy meals don't have to be boring. These Chicken, Sweet Potato, and Kale Bowls are loaded with flavorful roasted veggies and topped with a quick homemade mustard dressing. This is a healthy meal that I look forward to.

Ingredients
1Sweet Potato
1tablespoonof Butter
1/4teaspoonSea Salt
1/8teaspoonBlack Pepper
1cupof Sriracha Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
2Chicken Breasts
about a teaspoon of Olive Oil
1 1/2cupsof Chopped Kale
2tablespoonsBlue Cheese
2tablespoonsCrasins
1tablespoonPepitas
For the Mustard Dressing:
3tablespoonsMustard
1tablespoonOlive Oil
2tablespoonsBalsamic Vinegar
2tablespoonFresh Lemon Juice
a dash of Sriracha
Sea Salt
Black Pepper
Instructions
Heat your own to 375 degrees. Peel the sweet potato and cut it into one inch cubes. Melt the butter and pour it into a large bowl with the potatoes. Add the salt and pepper, and then stir to evenly coat the potatoes. Pour the potatoes onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Roast the potatoes for about 40 minutes, until soft.
Next, prepare the Sriracha Parmesan Roasted Broccoli.
Now, prepare the chicken. Season it with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over high heat, and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Place the chicken in the hot pan, searing the first side for 2 minutes. The flip the chicken and sear the second side for a minute. Then cover the pan, reduce the heat to low, and let the chicken continue cooking for another 10 minutes. Once it is fully cooked, let it rest for 5 minutes and then dice it.
To prepare the mustard dressing just mix up all of the ingredients. I like to do this in a small mason jar so that I can save any extra dressing.
Once the sweet potatoes, broccoli, chicken, and mustard dressing are ready, it's time to assemble the bowls! I like to start with a handful of kale, and then I add a scoop of broccoli, and a scoop of chicken. Then I add craisins, blue cheese, and pepitas. I finish things off by drizzling the mustard dressing on top. Yum!
Recipe Notes
I prepared everything in advance, and then when it was time for dinner I just heated up the sweet potato, broccoli, and chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet. I filled the counter with all of the other toppings and we each got to assemble our own salad bowls! And then we watched Scandal, and course, sipped some red wine.
